Why is Crema de Calabaza classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The soup is placed in NOVA group 3 because its ingredients have been cooked, peeled, and combined into a ready‑to‑heat product, which involves processing steps beyond simple preservation. It contains no artificial colourings, preservatives or flavor enhancers; the only added ingredients are natural cane sugar, cream, butter and salt.

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

With 2 g of sugar per 100 g, the soup is low in sugar and therefore suitable for most diabetic meal plans, while its 0.65 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and should be accounted for in a hypertension‑friendly diet, possibly requiring a reduced‑salt overall daily intake.

Is the dairy (cream) in Crema de Calabaza a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes, the soup contains cream and butter, both derived from milk, so it must be avoided by anyone with a milk allergy.
