Why is Caldo de pescado classified as a NOVA 3 product and what specific additives does it contain?

The broth is made from water, fish, shellfish, vegetables, salt, spices, olive oil and natural aromas, without any listed food additives, which places it in the NOVA 3 category for processed foods that contain added ingredients but no industrial additives.

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

At 0.9 g of salt per 100 ml, the broth contributes a notable amount of sodium; consuming several servings could approach or exceed daily sodium limits recommended for people with high blood pressure, so it should be used sparingly.

Is Caldo de pescado suitable for vegan, vegetarian, or gluten‑free diets?

No; the product contains fish, shellfish and natural aromas derived from marine ingredients, making it unsuitable for vegan and vegetarian diets, while it is naturally gluten‑free.
