Why is Gyoza aux légumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from a mixture of refined wheat flour dough, vegetable oils and a processed soy‑based filling that undergoes multiple formulation steps, resulting in an ultra‑processed product; the label lists potassium lactate (E326), sodium diacetate (E262 II) and a natural flavouring as the main additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in Gyoza aux légumes affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The sugar level is low at 2.7 g per 100 g, which is acceptable for diabetic monitoring, but the salt content is high at 1.6 g per 100 g, exceeding the recommended daily limit for people with hypertension and may contribute to increased blood pressure.

Is Gyoza aux légumes suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains gluten, soy and sesame, so it is not gluten‑free; it includes animal‑derived soy but no meat, making vegan status uncertain and it is not certified halal; the carbohydrate content (27 g per 100 g) is too high for a strict keto plan.
