Why is this vegetable bouillon classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what ingredients contribute to that classification?

NOVA 3 indicates the product is processed but not formulated with additives typical of ultra‑processed foods; the inclusion of starch, sunflower oil and a blend of dehydrated vegetables and herbs requires processing steps such as drying and milling, which place it in this category.

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

With 0.86 g of salt per 100 g, the bouillon adds a moderate amount of sodium to dishes; people managing hypertension should use it sparingly and balance it with other low‑sodium ingredients.

Is the celery root in this bouillon a concern for individuals with a celery allergy?

Yes, the bouillon contains knollenselerie (celery root), which can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to celery, so they should avoid this product.
