Why is Fitness Mix classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives NOVA 4 because the ingredients list includes added sugars, a humectant (glycerol/E422) and other non‑native components such as sunflower‑seed oil and sulfite preservatives; these processing steps go beyond simple drying, placing it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Fitness Mix affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 31 g of sugar per 100 g and only 0.02 g of salt, the mix provides a high carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose levels, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic management, while its very low salt makes it safe for hypertension but the overall calorie density remains high.

Are the nuts and sulfites in Fitness Mix a concern for people with allergies?

Yes; the product contains almond, cashew and sunflower seeds, and it may contain traces of peanuts and other tree nuts, and sulfites are listed as a possible allergen, so anyone with nut or sulfite sensitivities should avoid it.
