Why is Taboulé au petit épeautre classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a prepared salad that undergoes cooking, mixing and packaging, but it does not contain any listed additives; the ingredient list shows only natural components such as spelt, cucumber, wheat semolina, vegetables, oils and spices.

How does the sugar and salt content of this tabbouleh affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2 g of sugar and 0.55 g of salt per 100 g, the salad is low in both sugar and sodium, making it a relatively safe choice for people managing blood glucose or blood pressure, though overall carbohydrate and total calorie intake should still be considered within a balanced diet.

Is Taboulé au petit épeautre suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

The salad is fully vegan, containing no animal‑derived ingredients, but it includes gluten‑containing grains such as spelt and durum wheat semolina, so it is not appropriate for a gluten‑free diet.
