Why is Muesli fruits secs amandes & noisettes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually listed as NOVA 3, indicating moderately processed, but the combination of toasted grains, added dried fruit, and the use of sunflower oil leads some systems to treat it as ultra-processed; the ingredient list shows zero additives, so no additives are present.

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

With 15 g of sugar per 100 g, the muesli is high in sugar and can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making it unsuitable as a staple for people managing diabetes, and the added sugar also contributes unnecessary calories for those on a low-salt, low-sugar hypertensive regimen.

Is the wheat and barley gluten in this product a concern for people with celiac disease?

Yes, the muesli contains whole-wheat and barley flakes, both of which are sources of gluten, so it is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
