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

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on refined whole‑wheat flour, added sugar, sunflower oil with egg, barley malt extract, ammonium carbonate as a raising agent and flavorings, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods.

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

The 18 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the product unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while the 0.43 g of salt (moderate level) contributes to sodium intake but is lower than the average snack, still requiring caution for hypertension.

Does the presence of wheat gluten make this product unsuitable for people with celiac disease?

Yes, the product contains whole‑wheat flour and other grain flakes, providing gluten, so it is not safe for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
