Why is Soupe de nouilles de style japonais, saveur Poulet classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup is made from dehydrated noodles, powdered soy sauce, sugar, vegetables and multiple processing aids, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. Its additive list includes flavor enhancers (E621, E635, E627, E631), preservative and acidity regulator (E330), antioxidant (E306), anti‑caking agent (E551), flour‑treatment agents (E500, E451) and other processing chemicals.

Based on the ingredient list, is this soup suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or halal diets?

The product is not vegan because it contains a chicken flavoring that may be derived from animal sources, and it is not gluten‑free due to wheat flour. Halal suitability cannot be confirmed because the chicken flavoring and some additives could be of non‑halal origin.

Is the palm oil used in this product a concern for sustainability and health?

Yes. Palm oil is linked to deforestation and loss of threatened species, which contributes to the product’s low Eco‑score, and it adds saturated fat (2 g per 100 g) that can affect heart‑health when consumed in large amounts.
