Why is Knorr Dehydrated Soup with 9 Vegetables (4 servings) classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients have been dehydrated and the formulation includes multiple processed components such as smoked bacon, palm oil, milk proteins, flavorings, yeast extract and the preservative E320 (propyl gallate), which are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

The soup contains 0.65 g of salt per 100 g, which is about one-third of the WHO's recommended maximum daily salt intake per serving; for people with high blood pressure, regular consumption could contribute to elevated blood pressure and should be limited.

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

Yes, celery (celeri-rave and celery leaves) is listed as a declared allergen, so anyone who is allergic to celery should avoid this soup.
