Why is Coeur fondant abricot et pêche classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is made from refined rice flour, potato starch, palm oil and several industrial ingredients such as caramelised sugar syrups, plus it uses three food‑additive codes: E330 (citric acid), E336 (potassium tartrates) and E440 (pectin). These refined components and additives meet the criteria for the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 30 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes. Although its salt level (0.6 g/100 g) is lower than the average biscuit, it still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited for those on a hypertensive diet.

Is this biscuit suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict diets?

The product is certified gluten‑free and its main plant‑based ingredients are vegan, but it contains egg powder and therefore is not vegan. It also lists possible trace contamination with soy and mustard, which may be problematic for people with those specific allergies.
