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

The cookies contain added sugars, refined wheat flour, palm oil, flavorings, emulsifiers and several food additives such as soy lecithin (E322), sodium carbonate (E500) and ammonium carbonate (E503), which are typical markers of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content in Mini Cookies affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 40 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, while the 0.66 g of salt, although below the snack average, still adds to daily sodium intake and should be limited for hypertension.

Is the milk chocolate in Mini Cookies a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes; the milk chocolate includes milk powder and butterfat, providing lactose, so individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid these cookies or seek a lactose‑free alternative.
