Why is Aubergines compotees & Ble 1/2 classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is assigned to NOVA group 3 because it is made from several processed ingredients such as pre-fried eggplant, tomato puree, refined durum wheat and refined oils; however, it contains no added additives, as indicated by the 'no additives' label and the additives count of zero.

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

With 4.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the dish provides more carbohydrate than the typical prepared vegetable mix and can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should consume it in moderation; the 0.92 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but still contributes to daily sodium intake, making it advisable for those with hypertension to limit portion size.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten-Free?

The formulation is fully plant-based, so it meets vegan criteria, and it contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it acceptable for halal shoppers; however, the inclusion of pre-cooked durum wheat means it is not gluten-free, and the presence of wheat and added sugar makes it unsuitable for a strict keto regimen.
