Why is Tzaziki BIO classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because the formulation includes processed components such as refined rapeseed oil and a thickening agent, the product is placed in NOVA group 4; the only listed additive is E415 (xanthan gum), used to improve texture.

How does the sugar and salt content in Tzaziki BIO affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2.7 g of sugar and 0.85 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce is relatively low in both nutrients, making it a safer option for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, though moderation is still advised.

Based on its ingredients, is Tzaziki BIO suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains Greek yogurt, skimmed milk and milk proteins, so it is not vegan; its low carbohydrate (4.8 g) and moderate fat profile suit a keto diet, it is halal as it contains no prohibited animal ingredients, and it is free of gluten‑containing grains.
