Why is Cookies Trois Chocolats classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It undergoes multiple industrial steps such as refining flours, adding refined sugars, blending vegetable oils, and using emulsifiers and leavening agents, and it includes additives like soy lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier, diphosphates (E450) as a raising agent, and sodium carbonates (E500) as a leavening aid, with refined palm oil and glucose‑fructose syrup further contributing to its ultra‑processed status.

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

With about 10 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed sparingly by people with diabetes, while the low salt level (0.19 g per 100 g) makes it relatively safe for hypertension, although the overall caloric density remains high.

Is the egg powder in this product a concern for individuals with egg allergy?

Yes, the ingredient list includes whole‑egg powder, which contains egg proteins that can trigger allergic reactions; anyone with an egg allergy should avoid these cookies.

Product Insights

Cookies Trois Chocolats are chocolate‑chip cookies sold by Lidl and belong to the Sugary snacks / Biscuits and cakes group. They carry a Nutri‑Score of D and are classified as a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed product, containing 10 g of sugar, moderate fat (about 12 g) with 3.8 g of saturated fatty acids, low salt (0.19 g) and common allergens such as eggs, gluten, milk and soy, plus additives like soy lecithin (E322), diphosphates (E450) and sodium carbonates (E500). While the cookies feature sustainable labels (Free‑range eggs, Rainforest Alliance cocoa, sustainable palm oil) and a pleasant taste, their high sugar and the presence of palm oil and additives make them less suitable for health‑focused or allergen‑free diets.
