Why is Golden Allumettes classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

It is placed in NOVA 3 because the potatoes are pre-cooked, cut into sticks and blended with sunflower oil before freezing; the ingredient list shows only potatoes and sunflower oil, and no added preservatives, colourings or flavourings, so the product contains no additives.

How does the low sugar and salt content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.5 g of sugars and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the fries add minimal glucose load and little sodium, making them a safer occasional choice for people managing blood-sugar or blood-pressure, though the carbohydrate and fat content still require portion control.

Is Golden Allumettes suitable for vegan, gluten-free or keto eating patterns?

The product contains only plant-based ingredients (potatoes and sunflower oil), so it is vegan and gluten-free, but with 23 g of carbohydrates per 100 g it is too high in carbs for a strict keto diet.
