Why is this vegan kebab classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The product is classified as NOVA 3 because its main protein is hydrated vegetable protein and soy protein, which are reconstituted from isolates, and the formulation includes refined oils, vinegar, herbs, spices and natural aromas; it does not contain any listed synthetic additives or E‑numbers, but the processing steps place it in the moderately processed category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 1.2 g of salt per 100 g (about 480 mg of sodium), the kebab provides slightly more salt than the average meat‑alternative, so it can contribute to a higher daily sodium intake and may be unsuitable for strict low‑sodium or hypertensive dietary plans.

Is the soy protein in this kebab a problem for people with soy allergies or for those trying to avoid gluten?

Yes, soy protein is a recognized allergen and the label also notes possible traces of gluten, so the product is not safe for individuals with soy allergies or those who must follow a gluten‑free diet.
