Why is Tortilla De Trigo Integral classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

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

With only 1.9 g of sugar and 0.88 g of salt per 100 g, the tortilla adds minimal glucose load and does not significantly raise sodium intake, making it a relatively safe option for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure when consumed in moderation.

Is the gluten in Tortilla De Trigo Integral a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?

Yes, the product contains added gluten derived from wheat, so it must be avoided by anyone diagnosed with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
