Why is Câpres classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA group 3 denotes foods that have undergone processing such as preservation, but without the addition of complex industrial ingredients; Câpres are pickled with salt, water, wine vinegar and a small amount of lactic acid (E270) used as an acidity regulator, which is the only listed additive.

How does the high salt content in these pickled capers affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 5.85 g of salt per 100 g, the capers contribute a substantial amount of sodium, which can raise blood pressure and should be limited or avoided by people managing hypertension or following a low‑sodium regimen.

Is this product suitable for a vegan diet and are there any hidden animal‑derived ingredients?

All ingredients, capers, water, wine vinegar, salt, and lactic acid, are plant‑based and certified organic, making the product fully vegan with no animal‑derived components.
