Why is Bio Basis-Müsli 5 Korn classified as minimally processed (NOVA 1) and does it contain any additives?

The product consists solely of whole‑grain oat, wheat and barley flakes, rye‑spelt flakes, sunflower seeds, sesame, toasted buckwheat and a small amount of oil‑free ingredients, with no added colours, flavours or preservatives, which places it in NOVA group 1 as a minimally processed food.

How does the low sugar and salt content of this muesli affect suitability for diabetic or hypertensive individuals?

With only 1.1 g of sugar and 0.02 g of salt per 100 g, the muesli adds minimal glucose and sodium to the diet, making it a reasonable choice for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, provided total carbohydrate intake is monitored.

Is the presence of sesame a concern for consumers with allergies, and can this product be eaten on a gluten‑free diet?

Sesame is listed as an allergen, so individuals allergic to sesame should avoid it. The product also contains wheat and barley, which contain gluten, so it is not suitable for a gluten‑free diet.
