Why is Tortillas de avena 51% classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it is made from refined cereal flours, includes added stabilizers, emulsifiers, leavening agents and preservatives, and undergoes industrial processing; its additive list comprises E-422 (guar gum), E-415 (xanthan gum), E-471 (mono- and diglycerides), E-202 (potassium sorbate), E-282 (calcium propionate), E-296 (lactic acid) and E-500ii (bicarbonate of soda).

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

With 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, the tortillas contribute about 26% of the WHO's recommended maximum daily intake of 5 g, so regular consumption could raise sodium intake and may be unsuitable for people managing hypertension.

Is this product suitable for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?

No; the tortillas contain wheat flour and added wheat gluten, making them unsuitable for gluten-free or celiac diets, and they also list possible traces of soy and mustard as allergens.
