Why is Mouline légumes variés classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is rated NOVA 4 because the formulation includes refined components such as corn starch, a natural flavouring, added salt and fresh cream, which are typical of industrially processed foods; the product lists no synthetic preservatives but does contain these processed ingredients.

How does the salt level in this soup affect people who need to watch their sodium intake?

At 0.67 g of salt per 100 ml (≈0.59 g per 100 g), the soup contributes about 25 % of the daily recommended maximum for an adult, so it may be unsuitable for strict low-sodium or hypertensive diets without portion control.

Is the celery present in this soup a problem for consumers with a celery allergy?

Yes; celery is listed as an ingredient and is also highlighted as an allergen, so anyone diagnosed with a celery allergy should avoid this product.
