Which nutrients keep this bolognese sauce from achieving a higher Nutri-Score than B?

The sauce’s moderate sugar (5.5 g) and salt (0.88 g) add negative points, while its protein (4.4 g) and fiber (2.1 g) provide positive points; these balances result in a B grade rather than a higher A.

How does the sugar and salt content of this sauce affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 5.5 g of sugar and 0.88 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce adds a modest amount of carbohydrate and sodium, so it can be included in a controlled-portion plan for diabetes or hypertension but should be limited to stay within daily limits.

Is this sauce suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten-free diets?

No; the product contains beef, wheat starch (gluten) and added sugar, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten-free or strict keto regimes, and it does not carry a halal certification.
