Why is Boulettes de lentilles vertes Bio classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and does it contain any additives?

It is rated NOVA 4 because the formulation uses refined ingredients such as cornmeal, wheat gluten and starch, and undergoes industrial shaping and heat treatment; however the label lists zero additives, so the high score reflects the degree of processing rather than added chemicals.

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

With only 0.7 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is low-glycemic and safe for most diabetic meal plans, while its 0.8 g of salt is modest compared with many processed foods but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should keep portions moderate.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or other strict diets?

The product is certified vegan and contains no animal ingredients, but it includes wheat gluten and other cereals, making it unsuitable for gluten-free or grain-free diets; it is also soy-free, so it fits vegan and vegetarian regimes that tolerate gluten.
