Why is Deli Bouillon Légumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cube combines many industrial ingredients such as salt, palm fat, maltodextrin, hydrolysed vegetable protein, herbs, spices, and a flavor enhancer (monosodium glutamate, E621) together with a caramel colour (E150c) and a trace of whey powder, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt content in this vegetable broth affect a hypertensive diet?

The product contains 1 g of salt per 100 g; a typical serving of one 10‑gram cube provides about 0.1 g of salt, a modest amount, but repeated use can accumulate and should be considered by people managing high blood pressure.

Is the whey powder in this broth a concern for people with milk allergy or who follow a vegan diet?

Yes, the formulation includes whey powder, a milk derivative, making the product non‑vegan and potentially allergenic for individuals with milk intolerance or allergy.
