Why is Crecker con farina e olio di mais classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined wheat flour, corn flour, oil and several industrial ingredients such as a carbonation agent (sodium carbonate), an acidity regulator, natural flavourings, vitamin E, and the antioxidant rosemary extract (E392), which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.75 g of salt per 100 g, the cracker contributes a significant portion of the daily sodium limit recommended for hypertension, making it unsuitable for low‑salt or hypertension‑friendly eating plans.

Is the wheat flour in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the primary ingredient is wheat flour, which contains gluten; therefore, the product is not safe for individuals who need to avoid gluten.
