Why is the Tomato, Paprika, Beluga Lentil & Balsamic Organic Spread classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The spread is labeled NOVA 4 because it combines whole vegetables with many industrial ingredients such as corn starch, sea salt, lemon‑juice concentrate, mustard, and a thickener made from carob seed flour, all of which are processed components that raise its level of processing.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this spread affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 6.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the spread can cause noticeable blood‑glucose spikes in diabetics, while its 1.1 g of salt contributes to sodium intake that may influence blood pressure, so both groups should consume it only in moderation.

Is the mustard used in this spread a concern for individuals allergic to mustard?

Yes, the ingredient list includes mustard, which is a listed allergen; anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this product to prevent allergic reactions.
