Why is the Vegetable and Red Lentil Burger classified as processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

NOVA 3 indicates foods made with at least one industrial ingredient or process; this burger uses cooked lentils, corn crumbs and refined vegetable oil, which qualify it as processed, but the product lists no additives, with an additive count of zero.

How does the 1.3 g of salt per 100 g in this burger affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

The salt content is slightly above the average for plant‑based patties and can contribute to daily sodium intake; individuals managing hypertension should limit portion size or combine it with low‑salt side dishes to stay within recommended limits.

Is this burger suitable for people with gluten, nut or sesame allergies?

The ingredient list does not contain gluten, nuts or sesame, but the label warns of possible traces of gluten, nuts, sesame and mustard, so it may not be safe for those with severe allergies and should be avoided by strict gluten‑free consumers.
