Why is the product classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product undergoes multiple industrial steps, including rehydration, extrusion and the addition of flavorings, which place it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category; it contains the additives buffered vinegar (E267), citric acid (E330), rosemary extract (E392) and methylcellulose (E461) as well as maltodextrin and natural flavors.

Is the trace gluten in this product a concern for people with coeliac disease?

Yes, the presence of gluten traces means the product can trigger reactions in individuals with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity and should be avoided by those requiring a strictly gluten‑free diet.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

The product is fully vegan and contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegan and typically halal diets, but it is not keto‑friendly due to its carbohydrate sources such as maltodextrin and natural flavors, and it is not gluten‑free because of trace gluten.
