Why is the Steamed Vegetable Mix classified as NOVA group 3 and what additives does it contain?

NOVA group 3 indicates a moderately processed food; the vegetables are frozen and then combined with a sauce that adds ingredients such as palm oil, butter, a small amount of added sugar, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, salt, spices, pea flour and spice extracts, but no artificial preservatives or colorings.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this vegetable mix affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.8 g of sugar and 0.57 g of salt per 100 g, the mix is lower in both nutrients than typical frozen vegetable products, making it a reasonable choice for diabetic or hypertensive plans when consumed in moderation and counted toward daily limits.

Is the Steamed Vegetable Mix suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The product is not vegan because the sauce contains butter (milk), but it is naturally gluten‑free and low in carbohydrates (3.4 g per 100 g), which can fit a keto regimen; halal status depends on the source of the butter and palm oil, which is not specified.
