Why is Hummus Natur classified as a moderately processed product (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates that the spread is made from processed ingredients like refined rapeseed oil, added sugar and acidifiers rather than being a simple whole‑food mash; it lists two food‑grade additives: E270 (lactic acid) used as an acidifier and E300 (ascorbic acid) serving as an antioxidant.

How does the sugar and salt content in Hummus Natur affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread has a low impact on blood‑glucose spikes, making it relatively suitable for diabetic diets, but the 1.1 g of salt contributes noticeably to daily sodium intake and should be limited for people managing hypertension.

Is the sesame paste in Hummus Natur a concern for people with sesame allergy?

Yes. Sesame paste is made from ground sesame seeds, a major allergen, and the product is labeled with a sesame allergen warning, so individuals with a sesame sensitivity should avoid it.
