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

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation combines rehydrated durum wheat semolina, added sugars, multiple refined oils, colourings and other industrial ingredients; the label lists the additives E100 (curcumin) and E150a (caramel colour) among its components.

How does the fat and salt content of this tagine affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The product’s fat content (8.7 g per 100 g) is moderate and its saturated fat is slightly above average, which may impact weight management, while the salt level is low (0.4 g per 100 g), making it relatively suitable for hypertension, but the overall calorie and carbohydrate content should still be considered for diabetes control.

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

Yes, the semolina is made from durum wheat and is a source of gluten; the product is therefore not safe for individuals with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
