Why is Krounchy muesli croustillant classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is considered ultra-processed because it combines refined ingredients such as cane sugar, rice, wheat flours and sunflower oil and undergoes industrial milling and extrusion, yet the label reports zero additives, meaning no E-numbers or other food-additive substances are listed.

How does the sugar/salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 20 g of sugar per 100 g, the muesli can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes and is generally unsuitable for a diabetic diet, whereas its very low salt level of 0.06 g is negligible for hypertension management, though the high sugar remains the main concern.

Is the almond in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

The formulation includes toasted almond (about 2.5% of the product) and lists nuts among the allergens, so it should be avoided by anyone with a tree-nut allergy.
