Why is Velouté légumes verts classified as a moderately processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The soup combines multiple whole‑food ingredients that are cooked, blended and packaged, which places it in the NOVA 3 category for processed foods; according to the product data it contains no added preservatives, colourants or flavour enhancers, so no additives are listed.

How does the salt content of this soup affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.5 g of salt per 100 ml, a typical 300 ml serving provides about 1.5 g of salt, roughly 30 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum of 5 g per day, so hypertensive individuals should limit portion size or balance it with lower‑salt meals.

Is this soup suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, making the soup fully vegan, and it contains no wheat or gluten‑containing grains; however, the label notes possible trace gluten, so it is generally safe for most vegans but people with severe gluten intolerance should check for cross‑contamination warnings.
