Why is Ravioli Légumes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) despite having no added preservatives, colourings or additives?

The NOVA 4 classification reflects the multiple processing steps required to create the product, including the use of refined semolina, dehydrated potato flakes, double‑concentrated tomato, starch binders and the cooking and packaging of the ravioli, all of which place it in the ultra‑processed group even though no additives are listed.

How might the salt and sugar levels in Ravioli Légumes affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the product contributes a modest amount of carbohydrates, which should be counted within a diabetic meal plan, while the 1.04 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and may be too high for a strict low‑salt regimen for hypertension, so consumption should be limited or balanced with lower‑salt foods.

Is Ravioli Légumes suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No; the ravioli contains egg, ricotta (milk) and wheat semolina, making it unsuitable for vegans and those avoiding gluten, and its carbohydrate content of 15.7 g per 100 g is far above keto limits.
