Why is Tastino Biscuiti Petit beurre classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because the formulation combines refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable fats and several food‑grade additives: ammonium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate as leavening agents, sodium metabisulphite as a preservative, soy lecithin as an emulsifier, vanilla flavour and a small amount of salt.

How does the sugar and salt content in these biscuits affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 18.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people managing diabetes should limit portion size. The 0.85 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and may exacerbate hypertension, making it advisable for those with high blood pressure to consume them sparingly.

Is the soy lecithin used in this product a concern for individuals with soy allergy?

Soy lecithin is derived from soybeans; although it is highly refined, trace amounts of soy proteins can remain, so people with a diagnosed soy allergy should avoid the biscuits or consult a healthcare professional before consumption.
