Why is Galettes sans gluten au chocolat au lait classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is made from refined flours, multiple sweeteners, dairy powders and several food‑grade chemicals, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. Its additives include emulsifier E322 (soy lecithin), E500 (sodium carbonate), E503 (ammonium carbonate) and diphosphates, all used for texture, leavening and shelf‑life.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 32 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans. The 9 g of saturated fat contributes to higher LDL cholesterol, while 0.89 g of salt is moderate; together they may challenge blood‑pressure control for hypertensive individuals.

Is the milk‑chocolate ingredient a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes. The milk‑chocolate layer contains skimmed milk powder, lactose, butterfat, whey powder and other dairy derivatives, all of which can trigger reactions in people allergic to cow’s milk or who are lactose intolerant.
