Why is Cigarette Russes Speculoos classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because its formulation relies on refined sugars, vegetable fats, flavorings and an emulsifier; the only listed additive is E322, which is soy lecithin used to improve texture.

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

With 38 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause significant blood‑glucose spikes, and although its salt is moderate at 0.43 g per 100 g, it still contributes to overall sodium intake, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic or hypertension control.

Is the powdered egg white in this product a concern for vegans or people with egg allergies?

Yes, the inclusion of powdered egg white means the product is not vegan and it poses a direct allergen risk for anyone allergic to eggs.
