Why is Whole Grain - Spelt classified as NOVA 3 and what does that mean for its processing level?

NOVA 3 indicates a moderately processed product, meaning the ingredients have undergone some industrial steps such as milling, mixing and baking, but no extensive addition of additives or industrial formulations that would push it into the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the 1.1 g of salt per 100 g affect a low‑sodium diet?

With 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, the bread contributes about 11 % of the daily recommended maximum of 10 g of salt, making it a relatively modest source of sodium that can fit into a low‑sodium eating plan when consumed in moderation.

Is this bread suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

The loaf is fully vegan, containing no animal‑derived ingredients, but it is made from spelt and wheat flours, so it contains gluten and is not appropriate for a gluten‑free diet.
