Why is the product classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The product combines several prepared ingredients and is cooked, but it does not undergo extensive industrial processing; the only listed additive is L‑cysteine (E920), used as a flour‑treatment agent.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 3.1 g of sugar per 100 g, the product provides relatively low sugar compared with the category average, allowing it to fit into a moderate carbohydrate meal plan, although total carbohydrate intake and portion size should still be managed.

Is this pastilla suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or halal diets?

It contains lamb, butter, wheat flour and almond, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free and may not meet halal standards because of the L‑cysteine and mustard; it should be avoided by those with nut or dairy allergies.
