Why is Ratatouille cuisinée BIO classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 3 because the vegetables are cooked, seasoned and combined with added ingredients such as oil, salt and sugar, and the only listed additive is citric acid (E330) used as an acidifier.

Is the trace of milk in this ratatouille a concern for people with dairy allergies?

The label mentions a possible trace of milk, so individuals with a dairy allergy should treat the product as potentially unsafe.

Can this product fit into vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, making it suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets; however the olive oil and low carbohydrate content mean it is not keto‑friendly, and without specific certification its halal status cannot be confirmed.
