Why is Cappelletti Jambon Cru classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it combines refined wheat flour, egg, cured pork, whey powder, natural flavorings and starches in an industrial process; although no E-number additives are listed, the inclusion of whey powder and natural flavorings means it contains processed ingredients, which places it in the ultra-processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 3.6 g of sugars per 100 g, the product adds minimal carbohydrate load for a diabetic diet, but its 0.84 g of salt per 100 g contributes to overall sodium intake and may be a concern for people managing hypertension.

Is the presence of wheat gluten, eggs and milk in this product a concern for people with common food allergies?

Yes. The product contains wheat gluten, egg and milk, which are among the top allergens; individuals allergic to any of these ingredients should avoid it.
