Why is Knorr Soupe Liquide Mouliné de Légumes Variés classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The soup is labelled NOVA 4 because it undergoes multiple industrial steps, including ingredient refinement, cooking, homogenisation and packaging, which transform whole vegetables into a liquid base. It does not contain synthetic additives; the only non‑nutrient ingredients are salt and a natural lovage flavor (arôme naturel de livèche), plus a small amount of corn starch used as a stabiliser.

How does the salt content of this soup affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 0.62 g of salt per 100 ml, a typical serving of 250 ml supplies about 1.55 g of salt, which is roughly 31 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum of 5 g per day. People managing hypertension should treat this soup as a moderate‑salt item and limit consumption or balance it with lower‑salt meals.

Is this soup suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other specific dietary regimes?

The soup is not vegan because it contains fresh cream, a dairy ingredient that also triggers the listed milk allergen. Although the label states no added preservatives or colourings, the product may contain traces of gluten, mustard, egg and soy, so it cannot be considered gluten‑free or allergen‑free for those sensitivities.
