Why is Dahl classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

Dahl falls into NOVA group 3 because it is a multi-ingredient prepared dish that has been cooked, rehydrated and mixed, but it does not undergo the extensive formulation of ultra-processed foods; the label shows zero additives, so no preservatives, colorings or flavor enhancers are listed.

Is the soy protein in Dahl a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes, textured soy protein (about 1.8% of the product) is present and soy is listed among the allergens, so individuals with a soy allergy should avoid this meal.

Is Dahl suitable for strict diets such as vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free?

Dahl is certified vegan and vegetarian and contains no animal ingredients, making it compatible with vegan and halal diets (though halal certification is not shown); however, its carbohydrate level is too high for a keto diet and the product carries a trace gluten warning, so it cannot be considered gluten-free.
