Why is Galle Totem classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, and multiple industrial ingredients such as a colourant (E150), an antioxidant (E223), an emulsifier (E322), and three leavening agents (E500, E500ii, E503), which together qualify it as an ultra‑processed food under the NOVA classification.

How does the sugar and salt content in Galle Totem affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 24 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the 0.81 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited for people managing high blood pressure.

Is the whey (milk) ingredient in Galle Totem a concern for lactose‑intolerant or milk‑allergic consumers?

Yes, the product lists whey and mentions milk in the flavouring component, so it contains dairy proteins and lactose, rendering it unsafe for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
