Why is Knorr Soupe Velouté de 12 Légumes au Fromage Frais classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup is labelled NOVA 4 because it undergoes extensive industrial processing, includes refined ingredients such as modified corn starch, added sugar, and a flavor‑enhancer additive identified as E14xx, as well as emulsifiers and preservatives typical of convenience foods.

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

With 0.68 g of salt per 100 ml, the soup contributes a moderate amount to the daily recommended limit of 5 g; people managing high blood pressure should limit portion size or combine it with low‑salt foods to stay within safe sodium intake.

Is this soup suitable for vegan or gluten‑free diets?

No, the product contains fresh cheese, whey and skimmed milk powder, making it unsuitable for vegans, while it does not list gluten ingredients but may contain trace gluten from shared processing facilities, so it cannot be confidently labeled gluten‑free.
