Why is Filet végétal effiloché, crema verde & petit épeautre classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The meal is assembled from multiple industrially processed components, undergoes cooking, seasoning and packaging, which meets the criteria for NOVA 4 ultra‑processed foods. It contains the food‑grade additives E175 (gold, used for colour) and E330 (citric acid, a acidity regulator).

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

With only 0.9 g of sugar and 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, the product is low in both ingredients, making it generally compatible with diabetic and hypertensive dietary guidelines; however, the relatively high fat and saturated‑fat levels should still be considered in overall meal planning.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict vegan or gluten‑free diets?

No, the product is not suitable for strict vegans because it contains dairy cream, and it is not gluten‑free because it includes emmer wheat (little millet), which contains gluten. It also contains soy, which may be problematic for those avoiding legumes.
