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

The stew combines several industrially processed ingredients such as refined sunflower oil, corn starch, and a vegetable broth, and it includes the additives citric acid (E330) as an antioxidant and guar gum (E412) as a thickener, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group.

Is this lentil stew suitable for a vegan diet and does it meet other common dietary restrictions such as gluten‑free or keto?

All ingredients are plant‑based, so the product is fully vegan; it does not list any gluten‑containing grains, making it likely gluten‑free, but it contains starch and carbohydrates, so it is not suitable for a strict keto regimen.

Does the presence of celery pose an allergy risk and how should consumers with celery allergy handle this product?

Celery is listed at 2 % of the formulation and is highlighted as a declared allergen, so anyone with a celery allergy should avoid the product and also be cautious of potential cross‑contamination during manufacturing.
