Why is Croustillant nature classified as NOVA 3 and which ingredients drive this level of processing?

The product combines several minimally processed grains with added ingredients such as cane sugar, honey and sunflower oil; these industrially refined components push it to NOVA 3, indicating a moderately processed food rather than a whole‑food or ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) item.

How does the high sugar content affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 20 g of sugars per 100 g, the muesli can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.05 g) is favorable for hypertension but does not offset the concerns about sugar intake.

Can Croustillant nature be used in vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No, the product contains honey, so it is not vegan; it also includes oats and barley, which provide gluten, and its high carbohydrate (68 g) and sugar levels make it unsuitable for keto, while the gluten content excludes it from gluten‑free diets.
