Why is Digestive Cookies classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives are present?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it combines refined wheat flours, added sugar, canola oil, and several functional ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate (E500 ii) and soy lecithin (E322), which are typical of industrially formulated foods.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Digestive Cookies affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 18.5 g of sugar and 0.79 g of salt per 100 g, the cookies can raise blood glucose and contribute to sodium intake; therefore individuals managing diabetes or high blood pressure should limit consumption and consider them an occasional treat.

Is the soy lecithin in Digestive Cookies a concern for individuals with soy allergy?

Soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and may contain trace soy proteins; people with a confirmed soy allergy should treat it as a potential allergen and avoid the cookies or consult a healthcare professional.
