Why is Taboulé à l'oriental classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

The product combines multiple ingredients that are rehydrated, refined, and mixed with sauces and seasonings, and it uses a food‑grade thickener, xanthan gum (E415), which places it in NOVA group 4 for ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content of this tabbouleh affect diabetic or hypertensive individuals?

With only 2.9 g of sugar and 0.93 g of salt per 100 g, the salad is low in both nutrients, making it generally suitable for diabetes and hypertension when consumed in normal portion sizes.

Can people with gluten intolerance or mustard allergy safely consume this product?

No; the salad contains durum wheat semolina (gluten) and a Dijon mustard sauce, so it is not safe for those avoiding gluten or mustard.
