Why is Galette moelleuse Pépites Chocolat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is tagged NOVA 4 because it contains added sugars, refined wheat flour, chocolate chips and several food‑industry ingredients such as the emulsifier soy lecithin (E322), the stabiliser glycerol (E422), sodium carbonates (E500) and sodium citrates (E331), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 27 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its 0.79 g of salt per 100 g, although lower than the average snack, still adds to daily sodium intake and should be limited for those managing hypertension.

Is the egg ingredient in this product a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the formulation lists eggs at 22 % of the ingredient list, and eggs are highlighted as an allergen, so the product is unsafe for anyone with an egg allergy.
