Why is Crousti'pause choco noisette classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is rated NOVA 4 because it is made from refined ingredients such as rice flour, cane sugar and added oils, includes industrial processes like dehydration of rice syrup, and contains the emulsifier E322 (sunflower lecithin) as its only listed additive.

How does the sugar and salt content of this biscuit affect individuals with diabetes or hypertension?

With 30 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while its very low salt (0.02 g per 100 g) poses little risk for hypertension but the high sugar still contributes to overall cardiovascular risk.

Is Crousti'pause choco noisette suitable for gluten-free, vegan, or other strict diets?

The product is certified gluten-free and contains only plant-derived ingredients, so it is considered vegan, but it does contain hazelnuts, which are a declared allergen, and it includes the additive E322; therefore it is not suitable for people with nut allergies.
