Why is Velouté Légumes & vermicelles classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup is assigned to NOVA group 4 because it undergoes multiple industrial steps, including cooking, blending, and the addition of refined wheat vermicelli, egg white and dairy cream, which are considered processed ingredients; however, no artificial preservatives or colorants are listed.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this soup affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 1.6 g of sugar per 100 ml, the product is low‑sugar and therefore less likely to spike blood glucose, but its 0.6 g of salt per 100 ml may contribute noticeably to daily sodium intake and should be limited for people managing hypertension.

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

No. The formulation includes egg white and cream, which exclude vegans and dairy‑free consumers, and it contains wheat‑based vermicelli, so it is not gluten‑free either.
