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

The product is made from refined corn, high‑oleic sunflower oil and iodised salt, which are typical of processed foods; it lists no additional additives, preservatives or flavourings, so the NOVA 3 rating reflects its formulation rather than the presence of extra chemicals.

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

With 1 g of salt per 100 g, the snack contributes about 2 % of the daily recommended maximum of 5 g of salt, so it can be consumed in moderation by people managing blood pressure, but excessive portions could still add up.

Is this tortilla suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the ingredients are corn, sunflower oil and salt, all of which are plant‑based, and the label confirms it is gluten‑free; however, the product may contain traces of soy, so it is not safe for individuals with a soy allergy.
