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

The crackers are made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, flavorings and several processing aids such as sodium carbonate (E502), ammonium carbonate and calcium phosphates, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, leading to a NOVA 4 rating.

How does the sugar and salt content in Savoury Crackers affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2 g of sugars and 0.92 g of salt per 100 g, the crackers add a moderate amount of glucose and sodium; people managing diabetes should monitor portion size to avoid spikes in blood sugar, and those with hypertension should consider the salt contribution within their daily limit.

Based on the ingredient list, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

All ingredients are plant‑based, so the crackers are suitable for a vegan diet, but the presence of wheat flour means they contain gluten and are not gluten‑free, and their high carbohydrate content makes them unsuitable for a strict keto regimen.
