Why is Räucherknacker Sojawürstchen classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product is made from multiple refined and industrially processed ingredients such as tofu, wheat protein, soy sauce, and sunflower oil, and it includes a processed thickening agent (guar gum, E412). These factors place it in the NOVA 4 (ultra‑processed) category.

How does the salt content of this vegan sausage affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.8 g of salt per 100 g, the product reaches the high‑salt threshold defined by nutrition guidelines, meaning regular consumption could contribute to increased sodium intake and should be limited for people monitoring blood pressure.

Is Räucherknacker Sojawürstchen suitable for strict diets such as vegan, keto, or gluten‑free?

The sausage is fully vegan and contains no animal‑derived ingredients, but it includes wheat protein (gluten) and therefore is not gluten‑free; its fat content (17 g per 100 g) may fit a moderate‑keto plan, while the high protein makes it compatible with many low‑carb diets.
