Why is the Velouté de légumes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the recipe includes processed ingredients such as cream, corn starch, yeast extract and natural flavorings, which are manufactured or refined components rather than whole vegetables alone; these added thickeners, flavor enhancers and dairy ingredients move the product into the ultra-processed category.

How does the salt content in this vegetable velouté affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.68 g of salt per 100 ml (about 0.7 g per 100 g), the soup contributes roughly 12% of the recommended daily limit of 5 g, so it can be included in a blood-pressure-friendly plan if total daily sodium intake is carefully monitored.

Is the Velouté de légumes suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten-free diets?

The soup contains cream (dairy) and a natural flavor that may include animal derivatives, so it is not vegan or halal; its carbohydrate level (6.6 g per 100 ml) is relatively high for strict keto, but it contains no wheat or gluten ingredients, making it suitable for a gluten-free diet.
