Why is Houmous lentille corail, carotte & cumin classified as processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because the ingredients undergo industrial steps such as oil refining, grinding of lentils and carrots, and the creation of a smooth paste, but the product lists zero additives, relying solely on whole‑food components.

How does the sugar and salt content of this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2 g of sugar per 100 g the spread is low‑sugar and suitable for diabetic monitoring, and its 1.2 g of salt per 100 g is moderate, much lower than typical spreads but still requires attention for strict low‑sodium regimens.

Is the sesame paste in this product a concern for people with a sesame allergy?

Yes; sesame seeds are listed as an allergen, so anyone allergic to sesame should avoid this spread.
