Why is Lunette classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines multiple industrially prepared components such as processed cheeses, breadcrumbs, sunflower oil, tomato purée, whey powder, flavoring, added sugar and preservatives, which together meet the criteria for an ultra‑processed food and place it in NOVA group 4.

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

With 3.4 g of sugars and 1 g of salt per 100 g, the ravioli is relatively low in sugar but still contributes to total carbohydrate intake, which diabetic individuals must monitor, while the moderate salt level can elevate blood pressure, so both groups should consume it in moderation.

Based on its ingredients, is Lunette suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

Lunette contains dairy (ricotta, mozzarella, whey), egg, wheat flour and rennet, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free, keto (high carbs) and potentially non‑halal diets that avoid animal rennet.
