Why is the Veggie bulgur quinoa lentil salad classified as NOVA 3 and what additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 3 because it is a processed culinary product that combines cooked grains, legumes, vegetables, oil and seasoning, without the extensive industrial formulations that define ultra‑processed foods; the only listed additive is the preservative potassium sorbate (E202) used to extend shelf life.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this salad impact people managing diabetes or hypertension?

The salad provides 4.3 g of sugars per 100 g, slightly above the average for prepared salads, so diabetics should monitor portion size; its salt content is 1.1 g per 100 g, well below the category average, making it generally acceptable for a hypertensive diet when eaten in moderation.

Is the wheat‑based bulgur in this salad a problem for individuals with gluten intolerance?

Yes. The bulgur is made from wheat, which contains gluten, and the product is labelled with a gluten allergen tag, so people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
