Why is Hummus klasyczny classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The hummus is labeled NOVA 3 because it combines minimally processed chickpeas with added rapeseed oil, tahini, vinegar and salt, which moves it beyond a basic whole‑food product. The only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

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

At 0.82 g of salt per 100 g, the hummus contributes a moderate amount of sodium; for someone managing high blood pressure, it should be consumed in controlled portions and balanced with lower‑salt foods to stay within daily sodium limits.

Is the sesame (tahini) in this hummus a concern for people with sesame allergy?

Yes, the product contains tahini, which is ground sesame seeds, and therefore it must be avoided by anyone with a confirmed sesame allergy.
