Why is Oriental Tabouleh classified as a processed dish (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The salad is made from cooked semolina combined with fresh vegetables and herbs, then packaged for convenience, which places it in the NOVA 3 category for processed culinary preparations; it contains a single additive, potassium sorbate (E202), used as a preservative, along with natural flavors.

How does the salt content of this tabbouleh affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.8 g of salt per 100 g (moderate level), the tabbouleh contributes to daily sodium intake and should be consumed in moderation by people with high blood pressure, ideally limiting portion sizes to keep overall salt consumption within recommended limits.

Is this tabbouleh safe for people with gluten intolerance?

No; the main ingredient is durum wheat semolina, which contains gluten, and the product also lists traces of other gluten‑containing cereals, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
