Why is this granola classified as NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

NOVA 3 denotes foods that undergo moderate processing such as mixing, heating or the addition of non‑nutrient ingredients; the granola’s ingredients are combined and baked, but it does not include any listed additives, preserving a relatively simple ingredient list.

How does the sugar and fat content in this granola affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 12.9 g of sugars (including about 5.3 g added) can raise blood‑glucose levels, making it less suitable for strict diabetic control, while the high total and saturated fat (23.6 g and 6.1 g per 100 g) may contribute to elevated cholesterol and blood pressure, so individuals with hypertension should limit portion sizes.

Is this granola suitable for strict vegan and gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the product is fully vegan, but the label notes possible traces of gluten and the presence of multiple nuts, meaning it cannot be considered gluten‑free and is unsuitable for those with nut allergies.
