Why is Biscuits pavot citron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The classification stems from the use of refined wheat flours, unrefined sugar, added vegetable oil, emulsifiers and raising agents; the label lists the emulsifier lecithins (E322) and sodium carbonate (E500) as the main additives, along with natural lemon flavoring and a small amount of added magnesium.

How does the sugar and salt content in Biscuits pavot citron affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Each 100 g portion provides 16 g of sugars, which can raise blood‑glucose levels and should be limited for diabetics, while the salt level is low at 0.2 g, making it less of a concern for hypertension but the high overall carbohydrate load still requires careful portion control.

Is the wheat gluten in this product a concern for people with celiac disease?

Yes, the biscuit contains wheat flour and whole‑wheat flour, both of which are sources of gluten, so it is not suitable for anyone requiring a strictly gluten‑free diet.
