Why is Ravioli Ricotta & Spinach classified as a NOVA 3 product and what additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates that the product is made from processed ingredients such as cooked pasta, cheese filling and vegetable purée, but it does not undergo the extensive industrial formulation that defines ultra‑processed foods. The ingredient list shows no added preservatives, colourings or flavours, and the additives count is zero, so the ravioli contains no declared additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in this ravioli affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2.1 g of sugar per 100 g, the ravioli is low‑sugar and generally compatible with a diabetic eating plan when portion‑controlled. The salt level of 1 g per 100 g is moderate; people managing hypertension should monitor total daily sodium intake and may need to limit the serving size or balance it with lower‑salt foods.

Is this ravioli suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or dairy‑free diets?

No. The product contains ricotta, cream and emmental cheese, which provide dairy, and it also includes eggs and wheat semolina, which add animal protein and gluten. Therefore it is unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free or dairy‑free diets.
