Why is Les Sablés des Moissons classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined cereals, added sugars, butter, milk powder and flavorings, which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, and it includes two food additives: sodium carbonate (E500) and ammonium carbonate (E503) used as raising agents.

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

With 25 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its 1 g of salt per 100 g adds a moderate sodium load that may be problematic for people managing hypertension.

Is the milk present in this product a concern for lactose‑intolerant individuals?

Yes, the formulation contains whole‑milk powder and butter, both of which contain lactose, so the biscuit is not safe for those who are lactose intolerant.
