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

The soup combines refined ingredients such as rapeseed oil, modified corn starch, reconstituted skimmed milk, concentrated butter and added sugar, all of which are industrially processed; it also lists the additive E14xx, a common thickening/anti‑caking agent. These characteristics meet the NOVA definition of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the salt content in this soup affect a hypertensive diet?

Each 100 ml provides 0.7 g of salt, so a standard 300 ml serving contributes about 2.8 g of salt (≈1,100 mg sodium), roughly 12 % of the WHO daily sodium limit of 2,000 mg. For people with hypertension, this moderate amount should be counted within their total daily salt intake and portion sizes may need to be limited.

Based on its ingredient list, is Velouté de légumes suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

The soup is not vegan because it contains milk and butter, and it is not keto-friendly due to 4.9 g of carbohydrates per 100 ml and added sugars. It likely complies with halal standards as it contains no pork or alcohol, though it is not officially certified. Gluten‑free status cannot be confirmed because traces of gluten are declared on the label.
