Why is Burgers 100% végétale classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is considered ultra‑processed because it includes refined ingredients and functional additives such as methylcellulose (E461) used as a thickener and sodium ascorbate (E301) used as an antioxidant, along with a natural flavouring, which all go beyond simple culinary preparation.

How does the sugar and salt content of these plant‑based burgers affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 1.8 g of sugars per 100 g, the burgers are low in sugar and therefore have minimal impact on blood‑glucose levels, but the 0.9 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and should be counted toward daily sodium limits, especially for people managing hypertension.

Are Burgers 100% végétale suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free or keto diet?

The burgers are fully vegan, containing only plant‑derived ingredients. They are not certified gluten‑free; a gluten trace warning is present, so strict gluten‑free diets should avoid them. Their carbohydrate level (3.5 g per 100 g) is higher than typical keto thresholds, making them less suitable for a strict keto regimen.
