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

The product combines many refined ingredients such as sugar, dextrose, modified starch, caramel syrup and a blend of additives (E14xx colour, citric acid E330, guar gum E412 and monosodium glutamate E621), which is why it is considered ultra‑processed and placed in NOVA group 4.

How do the high sugar and moderate salt levels in Kruidenketchup curry affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 29 g of sugar per 100 ml can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for uncontrolled diabetes, while the 1.97 g of salt, although lower than some sauces, still contributes to overall sodium intake and should be limited by those managing hypertension.

Is Kruidenketchup curry suitable for vegan, gluten‑free and lactose‑free diets, and are there any hidden allergens to watch for?

Yes, the condiment is formulated without animal products, gluten or lactose, but it does contain mustard as an allergen and may have traces of celery, so consumers with these sensitivities should check the label.
