Why is SALAD' Taboulé aux légumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it undergoes multiple industrial steps, includes rehydrated semolina, added oils, vinegar and a thickening agent; the only listed additive is xanthan gum (E415), which acts as a stabiliser.

How does the sugar and salt content of this tabbouleh affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 2.3 g of sugar and 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, the salad is low in sugar, making it relatively safe for diabetes when portion‑controlled, while its moderate salt level is well below the average for ready meals, reducing the risk of exacerbating hypertension.

Is this product suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, or low‑carb diet?

The formulation is fully vegan, but it contains durum wheat semolina, so it is not gluten‑free; its carbohydrate amount (17 g per 100 g) is higher than typical low‑carb thresholds, making it unsuitable for strict low‑carb diets.
