Why is Sprouted Grain Loaf classified as NOVA 3 and what additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates the product is processed using added ingredients but not formulated with multiple industrial processes that define ultra‑processed foods; the loaf includes enzyme additives such as amylase (E1100) and glucose oxidase (E1102) as well as ascorbic acid, which are used to improve dough handling and shelf life.

How does the sugar and salt content of Sprouted Grain Loaf affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the loaf adds minimal glucose load for diabetics, while its 0.9 g of salt per 100 g is well below the average for sliced breads, making it a reasonable option for blood‑pressure‑controlled diets when consumed in moderation.

Is Sprouted Grain Loaf suitable for a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

The loaf is not gluten‑free because it contains wheat flour and barley, but it is vegan‑friendly as all listed ingredients are plant‑based and no animal‑derived additives are present; however, it may contain trace egg, milk, soy or tree nuts due to cross‑contamination.
