Why is Croutons with whole wheat flour classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is made from refined wheat flours, sunflower oil and yeast, which undergo mechanical and thermal processing, yet it contains no added preservatives, emulsifiers or colourants; the additives count is zero.

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

With zero sugars, the croutons do not raise blood glucose directly, making them acceptable for diabetic meal planning, but the 1.6 g of salt per 100 g contributes a moderate amount of sodium that should be accounted for in a hypertension‑focused diet.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the product is fully vegan; however, it contains wheat flour, making it unsuitable for gluten‑free diets, and its high carbohydrate content (70 g per 100 g) means it does not fit keto diet criteria.
