Why is Haricots blancs à la Tomate classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a canned preparation that involves cooking and combining ingredients, but it does not contain any listed additives; all components are natural and organic, so the additive count is zero.

How does the sugar and salt content of this canned bean product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With only 1.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the product has a minimal impact on blood glucose, making it suitable for diabetic diets, while the 0.65 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and should be counted within daily sodium limits for hypertensive individuals.

Is the celery present in the vegetable broth a concern for people with a celery allergy?

Yes, the vegetable broth includes celery (celeriac and aromatic plants containing celery), so anyone with a known celery allergy should avoid this product.
