Why is Tabouleh with chicken classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it includes industrial ingredients such as refined wheat semolina, added vegetable oil, lemon‑juice concentrate, dehydrated chives, flavorings and the preservative potassium sorbate (E202), all of which are manufactured away from their original whole‑food state.

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

With 3.6 g of sugar and 0.95 g of salt per 100 g, the salad provides a moderate amount of sugar that can raise blood glucose levels and a moderate salt level that contributes to daily sodium intake; people managing diabetes or hypertension should limit portion size and balance it with lower‑sugar, lower‑salt foods throughout the day.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No; the salad contains chicken meat, egg and traces of milk, making it unsuitable for vegans, it includes wheat semolina which introduces gluten, and its 20 g of carbohydrates per 100 g exceed the low‑carb threshold required for keto diets.
