Why is Muesli almond and red fruits classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cereal includes roasted and grilled grain flakes, added sunflower oil and an emulsifier, which are steps typical of ultra‑processed foods; the only listed additive is E322, a sunflower‑derived lecithin used as an emulsifier.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 12 g of sugar per 100 g, the muesli contains a moderate amount of carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose, so people with diabetes should monitor portion size, while the very low salt level (0.01 g) is unlikely to impact blood pressure.

Is this muesli suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

No; it contains trace milk (listed in the allergen statement) and gluten‑containing grains such as wheat and barley, making it unsuitable for strict vegan or gluten‑free diets.
