Why is the Vegan Feinkostsalat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The spread is considered ultra‑processed because it combines many refined ingredients such as smoked tofu, tomato paste, and multiple spices, and it includes the food‑grade thickener guar gum (E412) along with magnesium chloride as a coagulant, which are typical of highly industrial formulations.

How does the sugar and salt content in this spread affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

At 6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can raise blood‑glucose levels and should be consumed sparingly by diabetics, while its 1.1 g of salt (≈0.44 g sodium) is lower than many spreads but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should monitor portion size.

Is the Vegan Feinkostsalat suitable for a strict vegan diet and are there any allergen concerns?

The spread is fully vegan, containing no animal‑derived ingredients, but it does include soybeans and mustard, both common allergens, and it is also free from gluten, making it safe for gluten‑intolerant consumers.
