Why is Taboule aux tomates classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually classified as NOVA 3, which reflects moderate processing rather than ultra-processing, and it contains no additives, preservatives, colorings or flavor enhancers - only natural ingredients such as tomatoes, water, onion, bell pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, mint, lemon juice, salt, parsley, pepper extract and wheat semolina.

Is the wheat semolina in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, wheat semolina contains gluten, so the taboule is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Based on the ingredient list, can this taboule be considered suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

The salad is plant-based and contains no animal products, making it suitable for vegan and halal diets, but the presence of wheat semolina prevents it from being keto-friendly or gluten-free.
