What nutritional factors give this couscous a Nutri-Score of A?

The Nutri-Score A results from its very low sugar (3 g/100 g), low salt (0.02 g/100 g), low total and saturated fat, high protein (12 g/100 g) and modest energy content, which earn positive points and keep negative points minimal.

Can people with celiac disease or soy allergy safely eat this couscous?

No; the product is made from durum wheat semolina, which contains gluten, and the label indicates possible traces of soy, so it is unsuitable for celiac patients and those allergic to soy.

Is this couscous suitable for vegan, keto or gluten-free diets?

It is vegan because it contains only plant ingredients, but it is not gluten-free due to wheat and its carbohydrate profile is too high in carbs to fit a strict keto regimen; therefore it is not suitable for gluten-free or keto diets.
