Why is Orge, lentilles vertes, riz rouge au naturel classified in NOVA group 3 and what ingredients influence its Nutri-Score A?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because the dish is a processed meal where the grains, lentils and rice are cooked, dried and mixed, but no artificial additives or isolated nutrients are added; the high fiber content from barley and lentils, zero sugars, low saturated fat from sunflower oil and the overall balanced composition generate many positive points in the Nutri-Score algorithm, resulting in an A grade.

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

The absence of sugar means it does not raise blood glucose levels sharply, making it safe for people with diabetes, while the 0.41 g of salt per 100 g is modest but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should consume it in moderation and consider the rest of their daily salt sources.

Is this product suitable for vegans and gluten-intolerant consumers?

All ingredients are plant-based, so the product is fully vegan, but it contains barley, a gluten-containing grain, therefore it is not safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
