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

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation includes processed ingredients such as modified corn starch, added sugar and butter, which are typical of industrially prepared foods, even though no artificial additives or preservatives are listed.

How does the sugar and salt content in Crema de verduras affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The soup’s sugar level is very low at 0.2 g per 100 ml, making it suitable for diabetic meal plans, while its salt content of 0.8 g per 100 ml is moderate and lower than many ready‑made soups, so it can be included in a hypertensive diet if overall daily sodium intake is monitored.

Is Crema de verduras suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The product is gluten‑free and low in carbohydrates, which aligns with keto guidelines, but it contains butter and therefore is not vegan; it may be used by those following gluten‑free or low‑carb plans but not by strict vegans.
