Why is Tabbouleh with chicken classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines multiple processed components such as roasted chicken, tapioca starch, dextrose, and added oils, and it includes a preservative (potassium sorbate) and a natural pepper flavoring, which together raise its processing level to NOVA 4.

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

With 0.83 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a moderate amount of sodium; regular consumption could add up to a significant portion of the daily recommended limit and may raise blood pressure in people with hypertension.

Is this chicken tabbouleh suitable for gluten‑free or vegan diets?
