Why is Infusion Elimination and Well‑Being classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is a ready‑to‑brew blend that includes processed ingredients such as dried herbs and a natural apple flavoring, and it is packaged in a sealed film; however, no synthetic additives are listed, its only non‑herb component is a natural apple flavoring, which is considered a flavor ingredient rather than an additive.

How does the low sugar content of this infusion affect a diabetic or low‑carb diet?

With only 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g and virtually no fat, the infusion adds negligible carbohydrates, making it suitable for diabetic or ketogenic diets, provided it is consumed without added sweeteners.

Is the anise seed in this tea a potential allergen for sensitive individuals?

Anise (Pimpinella anisum) can trigger allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to the Apiaceae family; however, the amount in the blend is low (26 % of the herb mix) and most consumers tolerate it without issue.
