Why is Fleurs des Blés organic chocolate cookies classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product undergoes multiple industrial steps such as refining wheat flour, adding chocolate chips, emulsifying, and leavening, which place it in the NOVA‑4 tier; its only listed additives are lecithins (E322) used as an emulsifier in the chocolate chips and ammonium carbonate (E503) serving as a raising agent.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of these cookies affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 33 g of sugar and 13 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and increase LDL cholesterol, making them unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, and they should be treated as an occasional treat.

Is the egg powder in this product a concern for consumers with egg allergy?

Yes; the ingredient list includes egg powder, which is a known allergen and is flagged in the label, so anyone allergic to eggs should avoid these cookies.
