Why is Gemüsebouillon classified as a moderately processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The broth is made by drying and grinding organic vegetables, salt, rice flour, sunflower oil and spices, then forming a powder; this level of processing places it in NOVA 3, and the ingredient list shows no added preservatives, flavor enhancers or other additives.

How does the salt content of Gemüsebouillon affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 0.95 g of salt per 100 g, the broth contains about 30 % more sodium than the average vegetable‑based product, so people monitoring blood pressure should use it sparingly or dilute it with water to reduce overall salt intake.

Is Gemüsebouillon suitable for vegan, keto and gluten‑free diets?

The product is certified vegan and contains no added sugars or animal‑derived ingredients; its carbohydrate content is only 0.5 g per 100 g, making it compatible with keto, and although it may carry trace gluten from processing, it is generally considered gluten‑free for most consumers.
