Why is Agnolotti gorgonzola et noix classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 denotes foods that contain industrial formulations or additives; this agnolotti includes the preservative lysozyme derived from egg whites and the colourant E1105 (chlorophyllin copper complex), both of which are listed among its ingredients.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The sugar content is very low (0.8 g per 100 g), so it does not significantly raise blood glucose, but the salt level of 1.1 g per 100 g is moderate and can contribute to higher sodium intake, which may be problematic for individuals managing hypertension.

Is the walnut ingredient a concern for consumers with nut allergies, and how is it presented on the label?

Yes, walnuts are a declared allergen; the ingredient list highlights "NOIX" (walnuts) and the allergen tag lists nuts, so anyone with a nut allergy should avoid this product.
