Why is Celeri fromage blanc dnp classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra-processed because it undergoes multiple industrial steps - shredding the celery, cooking, mixing with refined rapeseed oil, cheese, vinegar and other seasonings, then sealing it for fresh packaging - and it contains the additive xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener.

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

With only 2 g of sugars per 100 g, the salad has a low glycemic impact suitable for diabetic meal planning, but the 0.88 g of salt per 100 g contributes noticeably to daily sodium intake, so people with hypertension should consume it in moderation.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or keto diets?

The salad is not vegan because it contains white cheese and egg powder, it is not gluten-free due to the presence of gluten, and its carbohydrate content from celery and added sugar makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets, although the low sugar level may fit less restrictive low-carb plans.
