Why does Les Sablés de l'Abbaye receive an E Nutri‑Score?

The E grade is driven by its high saturated‑fat (13 g) and sugar (23 g) levels, a moderate amount of salt (0.41 g), low dietary fiber (2 g) and the absence of fruit, vegetable or nut content that could earn positive points.

How might the sugar and saturated‑fat levels in these shortbread cookies affect someone with diabetes or high cholesterol?

The 23 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, while 13 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol; both should be consumed sparingly by people managing diabetes or cardiovascular risk.

Can this shortbread be included in vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

No; the recipe contains butter, whole‑milk, egg yolks, whole eggs and wheat flour, making it unsuitable for vegan, keto (high carbohydrate) and gluten‑free diets.
