Why is Insalatissime tuna salad lentils classified as NOVA 3 and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 3 because it is a formulated meal that includes cooked ingredients, added oil and seasonings; however, the ingredient list shows no added colourants, preservatives or sweeteners, so it contains zero declared additives.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this salad affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1 g of sugar per 100 g, the salad is low‑sugar and suitable for diabetes management, while its 1.28 g of salt (moderate level) contributes modestly to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should monitor portion size but it is not excessively salty.

Is the tuna in this salad a concern for people with fish allergies or for sustainable seafood preferences?

The tuna provides 23 % of the product and is listed as a fish ingredient, so it will trigger a reaction in anyone allergic to fish; the label also carries MSC and dolphin-safe certifications, indicating that the tuna is sourced from fisheries meeting sustainable and dolphin-protection standards.
