Why is Taboulé AU POULET classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines multiple processed ingredients such as rehydrated durum wheat semolina, roasted and brined chicken, refined oils and a range of seasonings, and it includes additives like xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener and a natural flavouring. These steps and additives place the salad in the ultra‑processed category.

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

With only 1.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the salad is low in sugar and therefore suitable for a diabetic diet, but it provides 1.4 g of salt per 100 g, which contributes about 14 % of the daily recommended limit and should be considered by people managing high blood pressure.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free?

The salad is not vegan because it contains chicken, it is not gluten‑free due to the durum wheat semolina, and it is not keto‑friendly because of its high carbohydrate content (22 g per 100 g). Halal status is not indicated on the label, so it cannot be confirmed as suitable for a halal diet.
