Why is Almond Flour Crackers Sun‑Dried Tomato & Basil classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additive does it contain?

The crackers are made from ground almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and include processed starches such as tapioca and cassava, plus refined sunflower oil, which places them in NOVA 3 (moderately processed). The only listed additive is rosemary extract, identified as E392, used as a natural antioxidant.

How does the fat and salt content of these crackers affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 26.7 g of fat and 1.9 g of salt per 100 g, the crackers are high in both nutrients. For people managing diabetes, the low sugar content is favorable, but the high total fat and calorie load may impact weight control. For hypertensive individuals, the near‑maximum salt level can contribute to elevated blood pressure and should be consumed sparingly.

Is this product suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free diet and are there any allergens to consider?

Yes, the ingredients contain no animal products and the label confirms the product is both vegan and gluten‑free. However, almonds are a tree‑nut allergen, so anyone with nut allergies should avoid these crackers.
