Why is Vegan Delicatessen Salad with Smoked Tofu classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It falls into NOVA group 4 because the formulation relies on processed components such as smoked tofu, refined cane sugar, and thickeners like guar gum, even though no conventional food additives are listed; the only technically added substances are magnesium chloride as a coagulant and natural flavoring from beech wood smoke.

How does the sugar and salt content of this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 6.1 g of sugar per 100 g, the product provides a moderate carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, requiring careful portion control for diabetics, while 1.4 g of salt per 100 g exceeds the average for plant‑based spreads and may contribute to elevated blood pressure, making it less suitable for hypertension without limiting intake.

Is the soy protein in this salad a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes. The primary ingredient is smoked tofu made from soybeans, and soy is listed as an allergen, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid this product.
