Why is Knorr Soupe Déshydratée Forestière Champignons & Oignons classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup undergoes industrial steps such as dehydration, lyophilisation, and flavor concentration, and it includes functional ingredients like maltodextrin, potassium chloride, glucose syrup, yeast extract, concentrated mushroom juice, spice blends and flavorings, all of which are typical additives of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content in this soup affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the soup is low in sugar and therefore more suitable for blood‑glucose control in diabetes, but it provides 0.65 g of salt per 100 g, which, while lower than the category average, still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited by people managing hypertension.

Is the wheat flour in this soup a concern for individuals with gluten intolerance?

Yes. Wheat flour is a core ingredient, so the product contains gluten and is not safe for those with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
