Why is Taboule poulet roti classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product mixes several processed components such as rehydrated durum wheat semolina, roasted and brined chicken thigh, added dextrose, mustard, natural flavorings that include gluten, and a blend of spices; these industrial processing steps and the presence of added flavorings and dextrose qualify it for the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category, even though it has no artificial flavors or preservatives.

How does the salt content in Taboule poulet roti affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.9 g of salt per 100 g, a full 500 g pack provides about 4.5 g of salt, which is close to the World Health Organization's recommended maximum of 5 g per day, so individuals with hypertension should limit their portion size or choose lower‑salt alternatives.

Is the gluten present in Taboule poulet roti a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?

Yes. The product contains 59 % durum wheat semolina and natural flavorings that list gluten as an ingredient, making it unsuitable for anyone who must avoid gluten.
