Why is Taboulé Libanais classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it consists of rehydrated grains, vegetables and seasonings that are combined and packaged; the only listed additive is potassium sorbate (E202) used as a preservative.

How does the salt content of Taboulé Libanais affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.83 g of salt per 100 g (about 0.33 % sodium), the tabouleh contributes moderately to daily sodium intake and can be included in a controlled‑salt diet, but individuals with hypertension should account for it within their total daily limit.

Is the wheat-based bulgur in Taboulé Libanais a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

The bulgur ingredient is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten; it can trigger reactions in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, so the product should be avoided by those individuals.
