Why is bio velouté de légumes du soleil classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 denotes foods that undergo multiple industrial steps such as concentration, refining and the addition of non‑nutrient ingredients; this soup uses tomato concentrate, refined starch, added salt, yeast extract and natural flavorings, which are considered processing aids even though no E‑number additives are listed.

How does the salt and sugar content in this soup affect people with hypertension or diabetes?

The soup contains 0.65 g of salt and 2.6 g of sugars per 100 ml; a typical 300 ml serving provides about 1.95 g of salt (≈780 mg sodium) and 7.8 g of sugars, which is low enough for most diabetic diets but may require moderation for individuals on strict low‑sodium regimens.

Is this soup suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other special dietary regimes?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the soup is vegan and vegetarian, but it carries trace gluten, celery, eggs and milk warnings, making it unsuitable for strict gluten‑free, egg‑free or dairy‑free diets that require absolute avoidance of these allergens.
