Why is Muesli graines fruits secs classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

NOVA 3 indicates that the product is made from processed culinary ingredients such as whole‑grain flakes, dried fruits and added sunflower oil, but it does not contain industrial formulations or additives; the label confirms zero listed additives.

How does the sugar content of this muesli affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 14 g of sugars per 100 g, the cereal can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.02 g) does not pose a risk for hypertension.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict dietary regimes?

The muesli is vegan because all ingredients are plant‑derived, but it is not gluten‑free due to the oat, wheat, rye and barley flakes and may contain trace amounts of milk, nuts, peanuts, sesame and soy.
