Why is Taboulee a l'orientale classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The salad is made from rehydrated wheat semolina, refined rapeseed and olive oils, and a blend of spices and flavourings that undergo industrial processing, which places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category; the only listed additive is colourant E160c, a carotenoid extract used to enhance its reddish hue.

How does the sugar and salt content of this tabbouleh affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With only 2.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is relatively low in sugar and can fit into a diabetic meal plan when portion‑controlled, but its 0.8 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and may contribute to sodium intake, so people managing hypertension should limit the serving size.

Is Taboulee a l'orientale suitable for vegan or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the salad is vegan, but it contains wheat semolina (BLE), which provides gluten; therefore it is not suitable for gluten‑free diets.
