Why is Tabouleh A L'ORIENTALE Duo de poivrons et menthe classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It undergoes multiple industrial steps such as rehydrated semolina, refined oil, added sugars and flavorings, and it includes the thickening additive xanthan gum (E415) as well as processed mustard sauce, which together place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How might the sugar and salt levels in this tabbouleh affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Can consumers with gluten intolerance safely eat this tabbouleh?
