Why is Kiełbasa Żywiecka classified as a processed meat (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

With 3 g of salt per 100 g, the sausage contributes about 50 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum daily salt intake, which can raise blood pressure and should be limited for people with hypertension.
