Why is Soupe Traditionnelle Japonnaise Au Miso & Gingembre classified as a NOVA 3 product and which processing steps lead to this rating?

The soup undergoes fermentation of whole‑grain rice to create miso, followed by blending with mirin, soy sauce, malt syrup and seaweed, and finally dehydration into a dry powder. These steps involve ingredient preparation, cooking, and drying but do not add industrial additives, placing it in the moderately processed NOVA 3 category.

How does the high salt (12.6 g per 100 g) and sugar (8 g per 100 g) content affect individuals managing hypertension or diabetes?

For people with hypertension, the salt amount exceeds recommended daily limits many times over, potentially raising blood pressure; diabetics should also watch the sugar level, as 8 g per serving can cause rapid glucose spikes, making the soup unsuitable as a regular option without careful portion control.

Can this soup be considered suitable for strict vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The product is certified vegan, but it contains wheat‑derived soy sauce and malted barley, introducing gluten and additional carbohydrates, so it is not gluten‑free or keto‑friendly, although it may fit a vegan diet for those who can tolerate gluten and moderate carbs.
