Why is Galbusera Protein G classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because its formulation uses refined wheat flour, added sugars, high-oleic sunflower oil and several industrial additives; the additives include emulsifiers (soy lecithin, E322/E322i), raising agents (sodium bicarbonate E500II, ammonium bicarbonate E503II, potassium tartrate E336I) and an antioxidant (rosemary extract, E392) as well as flavorings.

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

With 22.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose and should be limited or avoided by people with diabetes; the 0.5 g of salt per 100 g is lower than the average snack but still adds to daily sodium intake, so those with hypertension should consume it only in moderation.

Is Galbusera Protein G suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free diets?

No; the product contains wheat flour and wheat protein (which provide gluten), almond pieces (nuts), soy lecithin and soy granules, and allergens listed as eggs and milk, so it is not vegan, not gluten-free, and not safe for nut-allergic consumers.
