Why is Houmous extra classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates the product is made from processed ingredients such as refined oil and added salts rather than being a simple whole‑food mash; the only listed additive is the preservative E202 (potassium sorbate) used to extend shelf life.

How does the salt content in Houmous extra affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.16 g of salt per 100 g, the hummus contributes about 23 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended daily maximum of 5 g, so people with high blood pressure should consume it in moderation and account for other salty foods.

Is Houmous extra suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, and sesame‑allergy‑free diet?

The product is vegan and declared gluten‑free apart from possible trace gluten contamination; however, it contains sesame seeds, so it is not safe for individuals with a sesame allergy.
