Why is Cracotte Céréales Complètes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the cereal base undergoes industrial extrusion and baking, and the formulation includes added refined sugar, palm oil, salt and whey powder, ingredients introduced after the basic grain matrix, without any declared E‑number additives, meeting the criteria for an ultra‑processed food.

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

With 7.9 g of sugars per 100 g, the crispbread can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited in a diabetic meal plan, while its 1.6 g of salt exceeds typical snack limits and can increase blood pressure, making it unsuitable for uncontrolled hypertension.

Is the whey powder in this product a concern for people with a milk allergy?

Yes, because whey powder is a dairy‑derived protein, it triggers the same allergic reactions as milk, and the product is labeled with a milk allergen, so anyone with a milk allergy should avoid it.
