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

It is made from a base of yogurt combined with many processed ingredients such as added sugars, wheat flour, modified starch, cocoa butter, vegetable fats, and a range of food‑additive compounds (pectin E440, guar gum E412, gum arabic E414, citric acid E330, soy lecithin E322, sodium carbonates E500, among others). These industrially manufactured components push the product into the highest NOVA category.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 14.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight glycaemic control, and although its salt is low, the high sugar outweighs any benefit for blood‑pressure management.

Is the wheat flour in this yogurt a problem for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes; wheat flour contributes gluten, which is declared as an allergen, so the product should be avoided by anyone diagnosed with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
