Why is ORIGINAL real vegetable chips classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it is made from refined vegetable oils, beet‑juice concentrate and other ingredients that are extracted, blended and reconstituted in an industrial process; no separate additive codes are listed, so it contains no declared additives beyond the basic ingredients.

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

With 16 g of sugars and 0.65 g of salt per 100 g, the chips can cause blood‑glucose spikes and contribute to sodium intake, making them unsuitable for strict diabetic or hypertension management without careful portion control.

Based on its ingredients, is this snack suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

The product is vegan, gluten‑free and free from animal‑derived ingredients, but its high carbohydrate (50 g) and sugar levels make it incompatible with a keto diet, and halal suitability cannot be confirmed without certification.
