Why is Belugalinse Balsamico Abendbrotaufstrich classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because its ingredients include processed components such as dried beluga lentils, double-concentrated tomato puree, agave syrup and a ready-made mustard blend, but the product does not contain any listed food additives (additives_n = 0), relying only on natural ingredients and seasonings.

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

With 5.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited by people with diabetes, while its 1.5 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should consume it sparingly.

Is the mustard in this product a concern for individuals with mustard allergy?

Yes, mustard is listed as an allergen, so anyone allergic to mustard should avoid this spread.
