Why is Tartine et cuisson classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined vegetable oils, water, salt, emulsifiers (lecithin and mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), an acidifier (citric acid), natural flavorings and added vitamins A and D; the presence of these industrially derived emulsifiers, acidifiers and fortified vitamins places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt content in this spread affect a hypertensive or low-sodium diet?

At 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, the spread provides roughly 18 % of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake, which can raise blood pressure in salt-sensitive individuals and is therefore unsuitable for strict low-sodium or hypertension-focused diets.

Based on its ingredient list, is Tartine et cuisson suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten-free diets?

The product is fully vegan and gluten-free, contains no animal-derived ingredients, and its very low carbohydrate (about 0.5 g sugar) makes it compatible with a keto regimen, but it is not certified halal and its high saturated fat level may be a concern for some health-focused consumers.
