Why is Muesli floconneux fruits secs Raisins figues abricots graines classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is not classified as ultra-processed; it is placed in NOVA group 3, which reflects a moderately processed food, and it does not list any additives - the formulation consists solely of cereals, dried fruits, seeds and a small amount of sunflower oil.

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

With 11 g of sugar per 100 g, the muesli provides a moderate amount of natural sugars that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should monitor portion size, while the very low salt level (0.01 g) makes it suitable for a hypertensive diet.

Is the spelt in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, spelt is a wheat species that contains gluten; therefore the presence of spelt flakes makes this muesli unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity despite the 'no gluten' claim.
