Why is Sourdough Flatbreads classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The flatbreads are made from wholegrain oats, tapioca and maize starch, sustainable palm oil and a sourdough starter, which involve multiple industrial steps; the only listed additive is a raising agent, ammonium bicarbonate (E503ii), used to create the airy texture.

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

With 2.1 g of sugars per 100 g, the flatbread is lower in sugar than many comparable breads, making it a modest choice for diabetes management, while the 1.38 g of salt is moderate; however, individuals on strict low‑salt diets should still monitor portion sizes.

Is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Gluten‑Free, or Keto?

The flatbreads are certified vegan and labeled gluten‑free, so they fit those regimes, but with 63.6 g of carbohydrates per 100 g they are too high in carbs for a ketogenic diet.
