Why is vegane Mühlen Crispies classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is rated NOVA 4 because it combines refined wheat flour, rapeseed oil and soy protein with several processing aids such as methylcellulose (E461) as a thickener and sodium hydroxide (E524) used in the brezel‑lauge. These industrial additives, together with the breaded coating, place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1.5 g of salt per 100 g, the crispies provide about 30 % of the recommended daily limit for sodium, which can raise blood pressure in people with hypertension. Consuming them regularly should be limited or balanced with low‑salt foods to stay within safe intake levels.

Is the soy protein in vegane Mühlen Crispies a concern for people with soy allergies?

Yes. The product contains 9 % soy protein, which is a recognized allergen and is highlighted in the allergen list. Individuals with soy allergy should avoid this snack, while those without the allergy can benefit from the complete plant‑based protein it provides.
