Why is NESTLE MAGGI KUB Bouillon Bio Bœuf classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines many processed ingredients such as beef meat and fat, potato starch, sugars, glucose syrup, multiple flavorings and a rosemary extract (E392), which together meet the criteria for NOVA 4 ultra‑processed foods.

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

At 45.3 g of salt per 100 g, the bouillon is extremely high in sodium; using it regularly can significantly increase daily salt intake and may exacerbate high blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should limit or avoid it.

Is this product suitable for a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

No. The ingredient list includes wheat‑derived celery, gluten from wheat, dairy milk, soy, eggs, fish traces and beef, making it unsuitable for both gluten‑free and vegan diets.
