Why is Hot chili classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 denotes that the blend undergoes processing steps such as drying, grinding and the addition of functional agents; the only additives listed are an anti‑caking agent and citric acid, both used to improve flow and stability.

How does the salt content in Hot chili affect a hypertensive diet?

With 87 g of salt per 100 g, the product is extremely salty, so even a small sprinkle adds a notable amount of sodium; people with high blood pressure should limit use and consider the overall daily salt intake.

Is Hot chili suitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets?

All ingredients, sea salt, chili pepper, paprika, corn starch, yeast extract, turmeric, citric acid and anti‑caking agent, are plant‑derived and contain no wheat or gluten, making the blend fully vegan and gluten‑free.
