Why is Chipotle & Lime classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack uses refined corn flour, vegetable oils, flavorings and extracts such as citric acid (E330) and paprika extract (E160c), all of which are industrially manufactured ingredients, placing it in the NOVA 4 ultra-processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content of Chipotle & Lime affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2 g of sugar per 100 g, the product has a low impact on blood glucose for diabetics, but its 0.4 g of salt, while lower than many salty snacks, still adds to daily sodium intake and should be limited for those with hypertension.

Is Chipotle & Lime suitable for strict vegan and gluten-free diets?

Yes; the snack contains only plant-based ingredients, no animal-derived components, and is labeled gluten-free, making it compatible with both vegan and gluten-free dietary requirements.
