Why is this product classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 covers foods that have been processed and contain added substances such as preservatives, sweeteners, or leavening agents. This raising powder includes corn starch as the base, sodium bicarbonate (E500 ii) as the acid‑base leavening component, and potassium tartrates (E336) as a stabiliser, all of which are listed additives that place it in the processed‑food category.

How does the low salt content of this raising powder affect a low‑sodium diet?

The product contributes only a negligible amount of sodium, originating from the sodium bicarbonate used for leavening; it does not contain added salt, making it suitable for low‑sodium or sodium‑restricted diets.

Is this raising powder suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

Yes. All ingredients, corn starch, sodium bicarbonate and potassium tartrates, are plant‑derived and contain no gluten, and the product carries vegan certification, so it fits both vegan and gluten‑free dietary requirements.
