Why is Crunchy Muesli with Dried Fruits and Pumpkin Seeds classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA 3 because it combines whole grains with added sugar, refined wheat flour, sunflower oil, honey and a small amount of the antioxidant E306 (tocopherol‑rich extract), all of which are industrially processed ingredients.

How does the high sugar content of this cereal affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 27 g of sugar per 100 g, the cereal can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans; the very low salt (0.13 g) is benign for hypertension, but the sugar load remains the primary concern.

Is the presence of almonds in this cereal a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes; almonds (and hazelnuts) are listed as allergens, so anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should avoid this product.
