Why is Mini cookies superfood matcha & lemon classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cookies are made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable fats and several industrial ingredients that are combined in a high‑temperature baking process, which places them in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. The label lists three additives: E322 (lecithins) used as an emulsifier, E500 (sodium carbonates) and E503 (ammonium carbonates) which act as leavening agents.

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

Each 100 g portion contains 24 g of sugar and 0.7 g of salt. The high sugar level can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the cookies unsuitable for uncontrolled diabetes, while the salt amount is lower than the average for similar snacks but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so people with hypertension should consume them only in moderation.

Is the sesame seed content in these cookies a concern for people with sesame allergy?

Yes. The ingredient list includes sesame seeds at about 8 % of the formulation, and the product is flagged for the sesame allergen, so anyone with a sesame allergy should avoid these cookies.
