Question 1

Why is Pousse de Haricot Mungo classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Accepted Answer

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it includes ingredients beyond the raw bean sprouts, such as added sugar, white‑wine vinegar, citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, ascorbic acid (E300) as an antioxidant, natural estragon flavor and a blend of other natural flavorings. These processing steps and additives place it in the ultra‑processed category.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Each 100 g serving provides 2.1 g of sugar, which is relatively low but still contributes to daily carbohydrate intake and should be counted by people with diabetes. The 0.74 g of salt is moderate; it adds about 300 mg of sodium, which can be part of a hypertensive diet if overall daily sodium is kept within recommended limits.

Question 3

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the product is vegan as it contains only plant‑derived ingredients and no animal derivatives. Its carbohydrate content (2.4 g per 100 g) is very low, making it potentially compatible with a keto diet in small portions. All ingredients are halal‑acceptable, including the white‑wine vinegar, which is considered permissible after fermentation. No gluten‑containing grains are present, so it is gluten‑free.
