Why is Velouté aux 10 légumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup combines many processed ingredients such as reconstituted skimmed milk, modified corn starch, acacia fibre, natural flavourings, onion extract and the preservative listed as additive E14xx; the extent of industrial processing and presence of these additives place it in NOVA group 4.

How does the sugar and salt content in this velouté affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2.3 g of sugar and 0.55 g of salt per 100 ml, the soup is relatively low in both nutrients, making it a safer option for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, though overall carbohydrate and calorie intake should still be considered in a balanced diet.

Is the skimmed milk in this soup a concern for people with milk allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains reconstituted skimmed milk and butter, so it is unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
