Why is Lasagne legume classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Although the label lists it as NOVA 3, the classification as ultra-processed stems from the use of rehydrated skimmed milk, refined wheat semolina, processed cheese and other industrially prepared components; the product lists zero additives, meaning no preservatives, colourings or flavour enhancers are added.

How does the sugar and salt content in Lasagne legume affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.1g of sugar and 0.49g of salt per 100g, the lasagna provides a modest carbohydrate load and a very low sodium level, making it relatively safe for diabetes management and especially suitable for hypertension when portion-controlled, though total carbohydrate intake should still be monitored.

Is the milk in Lasagne legume a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes - the recipe includes rehydrated skimmed milk, liquid cream and grated cheese, all of which contain lactose and milk proteins, so those with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy should avoid it.
