Why is Epeautre & lentilles Petits pois & soja classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The NOVA 3 rating reflects that the ingredients have been pre‑cooked and combined, which involves mechanical and thermal processing, but the product does not contain any listed additives; the ingredient list is limited to grains, legumes and soy flakes.

How does the low sugar and zero‑salt content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Both diabetes and hypertension benefit from reduced sugar and salt; the 1.3 g of sugar and 0 g of salt per 100 g make it a suitable option for controlling blood glucose and blood pressure, although the high carbohydrate load should still be considered in overall meal planning.

Is Epeautre & lentilles Petits pois & soja suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or soy‑allergic diets?

The formulation is entirely plant‑based, so it is vegan, but it contains spelt (a gluten source) and soy, and may contain sesame or mustard traces, making it unsuitable for gluten‑free or soy‑allergic consumers.
