Why is Taboule poulet classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The presence of refined wheat semolina, added vegetable oils, multiple processing steps and four food‑grade additives, E202 (potassium sorbate), E261 (potassium acetate), E326 (potassium lactate) and E415 (xanthan gum), places the product in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How might the salt and fat content of this chicken tabbouleh affect a hypertensive or heart‑healthy diet?

With 0.91 g of salt and 7.4 g of fat per 100 g, the product exceeds typical sodium limits for prepared salads and adds considerable fat calories, making it less suitable for strict low‑salt or low‑fat heart‑healthy eating plans.

Is Taboule poulet suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or keto diets?

No; the product contains chicken (not vegan), durum wheat semolina (contains gluten), and 21 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, which is too high for a keto regimen.
