Why is Edromlyana Ljutenica classified as NOVA 3 and which additives does it contain?

The spread is labelled NOVA 3 because it is made from roasted vegetables and refined sunflower oil, which involves processing steps such as roasting and peeling but no industrial formulation with multiple additives; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

How does the sugar and salt content affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 9.7 g of sugars and 1.4 g of salt per 100 g, the spread can raise blood glucose levels and increase sodium intake, so people managing diabetes or high blood pressure should limit portion sizes and consider it an occasional addition rather than a staple.

Is this spread suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

All ingredients are plant‑derived, making the spread compatible with vegan, halal and gluten‑free diets; however, its carbohydrate content (12.4 g per 100 g, including 9.7 g sugars) makes it less suitable for strict keto regimens.
