Why is Muesli 6 fruits classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Muesli 6 fruits falls in NOVA group 3, meaning it is processed rather than ultra-processed (NOVA 4); however, the added cane sugar, refined sunflower oil, honey and the antioxidant rosemary extract (E392) are the types of ingredients that push a product toward the ultra-processed category.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 24 g of sugar per 100 g, the muesli can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes and is therefore unsuitable for people managing diabetes; the very low salt level (0.02 g) means it does not add meaningful sodium to a hypertension-controlled diet, although its overall carbohydrate load remains high.

Is the presence of nuts in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the formula contains whole almonds (2%) and toasted, chopped hazelnuts (2%), and the label also notes traces of other nuts, so it should be avoided by anyone with a nut allergy.
