Why is Caviar d’aubergines classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 3 because it is a formulated product that combines several ingredients (eggplant, oils, herbs, salt, lemon juice, pepper) without undergoing complex industrial processing, and the label shows zero added additives, preservatives, or colorants.

How does the sugar and salt content in Caviar d’aubergines affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The spread provides only 2.9 g of sugars per 100 g, adding minimal glucose load for diabetics when portion‑controlled, but its 0.73 g of salt per 100 g contributes a moderate sodium amount, so people with hypertension should limit serving size.

Is Caviar d’aubergines suitable for vegan, keto, or halal diets?

All ingredients are plant‑derived, making the spread fully vegan and compatible with halal dietary rules, and its low carbohydrate (2.9 g per 100 g) and high‑fat profile also align well with a ketogenic eating plan.
