Why is Tabbouleh poulet classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The salad includes multiple industrial ingredients such as refined wheat semolina, added vegetable oils, vinegar and a blend of preservatives and stabilisers: potassium lactate (E326), potassium sorbate (E202), potassium nitrate (E261) and xanthan gum (E415), which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Tabbouleh poulet affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2.6 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is relatively low in sugar and therefore less likely to spike blood glucose, but its 0.91 g of salt per 100 g exceeds the average for ready‑to‑eat salads and can contribute to elevated blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should limit portion size.

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

No. The salad contains durum wheat semolina, which provides gluten, and includes roasted chicken, making it unsuitable for vegan diets. Its carbohydrate level of 21 g per 100 g also exceeds typical keto limits, so it is not appropriate for strict keto eating.
