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

Each 100 ml portion provides 2 g of sugars, which can raise blood glucose levels and should be counted in a diabetic meal plan, while the 0.7 g of salt contributes a moderate amount of sodium and may be too high for a hypertension‑controlled diet, so consumption should be limited.

Is the celery present in this soup a concern for people with celery allergy?

Yes. Celery is listed as an allergen in both the ingredient list and the natural flavouring, so anyone with a confirmed celery allergy should avoid this product.

Velouté de légumes

Q: Why is Velouté de légumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup is rated NOVA 4 because it combines whole vegetables with several industrial ingredients such as reconstituted skimmed milk, modified corn starch, rapeseed oil, a natural flavouring and butter; these processing steps and the presence of additive E14xx (a thickener/stabiliser) place it in the ultra‑processed category.
