Why is Allos Linsen‑Aufstrich classified as a NOVA 3 product and what ingredients contribute to its processing level?

NOVA group 3 indicates a formulated food that contains processed ingredients but no added substances typical of ultra‑processed items; the spread uses cooked lentils, tomato puree, roasted peppers, sunflower oil, agave syrup and a mustard dressing, all of which are industrially processed, leading to the NOVA 3 rating.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 5.7 g of sugar and 1.5 g of salt per 100 g, the spread adds a moderate amount of quick‑acting carbohydrates and sodium, which can raise blood glucose spikes and blood pressure; people managing diabetes or hypertension should limit portion size and consider the overall daily intake of sugar and salt.

Is this spread suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and mustard‑allergic consumers?

The product is certified vegan and gluten‑free, but it contains mustard and mustard seeds as a flavoring, so it is not safe for individuals with mustard allergy.
