Why is Croq'soja classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The patty includes processed ingredients such as smoked tofu and refined wheat flour, which place it in the NOVA 3 category, but the label reports zero additives, meaning no preservatives, colourings or sweeteners are added.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this patty affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product provides a modest carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose for diabetics, while its 1 g of salt per 100 g is below the category average but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so those with hypertension should limit portion size.

Is Croq'soja suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or other strict diets?

All ingredients are plant‑based, making the patty vegan, but it contains wheat flour and oats, so it is not gluten‑free; it also contains soy, a common allergen, which may be a concern for soy‑sensitive individuals.
