Why is Groentebouillon classified as a NOVA 3 product and which ingredients drive this processing level?

The product contains refined components such as sea salt, palm oil, potato starch, yeast extract and dried vegetable powders, which are industrially processed ingredients; together they place the broth in the moderately processed NOVA 3 category.

How does the high salt content of this vegetable broth affect people who need to limit sodium, such as those with hypertension?

With 7.73 g of salt per 100 g, a single serving can provide more than the daily recommended sodium intake, so hypertensive or sodium‑restricted individuals should use the broth sparingly or dilute it heavily in recipes.

Is the celery present in this broth a concern for individuals allergic to celery, and how is it indicated on the label?

Celery is listed as an allergen in the ingredient list; anyone with a celery allergy should avoid the product because the allergen is present and may also appear in cross‑contamination warnings.
