Why is Sopinstant Crema de Pollo classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because the formula relies on refined starches, sugars and industrial fats rather than whole ingredients. The blend includes potato starch, maltodextrin, glucose syrup, palm‑based vegetable fat, palm oil, flavorings with celery and egg extracts, yeast extract and other processed components that are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

How does the high sugar and salt content of this soup affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 13.3 g of sugars per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the 6.2 g of salt exceeds recommended limits for hypertension and may raise blood pressure if consumed regularly.

Is the wheat flour in the croutons a concern for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?

Yes, the crouton component contains wheat flour, which provides gluten and can trigger symptoms in anyone with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
