Why is Taboulé A L'ORIENTALE Duo de poivrons et menthe classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is a pre‑assembled salad that contains several industrial ingredients such as refined rapeseed oil, Dijon mustard, and a thickening agent (xanthan gum), all of which are added during manufacturing rather than being simple whole foods.

How does the sugar content in this tabbouleh affect a diabetic diet?

With 4.1 g of sugars per 100 g, the salad contributes a modest amount of carbohydrate; diabetics can include it in a balanced meal plan but should account for the sugars within their total daily carbohydrate budget.

Is the wheat (gluten) in this product a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?

Yes. The semolina base is made from durum wheat, which contains gluten, so the product is not safe for anyone who must avoid gluten.
