Why is Poulet‑art classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it includes refined plant proteins, added oils, flavorings and functional ingredients such as methylcellulose (E461) and xanthan gum (E415) that are industrially processed to achieve the desired texture and taste.

How does the salt content in Poulet‑art affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1.8 g of salt per 100 g, Poulet‑art exceeds the average salt level for meat alternatives and can contribute significantly to daily sodium intake, so individuals with hypertension should limit consumption and balance it with low‑salt meals.

Based on the ingredients, is Poulet‑art suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or soy‑free diets?

Poulet‑art is fully vegan, but it contains wheat (gluten) and soy, so it is not appropriate for gluten‑free or soy‑free diets.
