Why is GRISSINI LIGHT* Sésame classified as a NOVA 3 product and which additive does it contain?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is made from refined wheat flour and includes added ingredients such as olive oil and milk powder, but it does not undergo extensive industrial formulation; the only listed additive is E300 (ascorbic acid), used as a flour‑treatment agent.

How does the sugar and salt content of this grissini affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is lower than the typical breadstick, so it has a modest impact on blood glucose, yet it still contributes carbohydrates. The 1.3 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and below average, but it still adds to daily sodium intake, so people with hypertension should consume it sparingly.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict diets?

No; the grissini contains wheat flour (gluten) and skimmed milk powder, making it unsuitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets, though it is vegetarian. It does contain sesame seeds, which are a common allergen, and it is free from palm oil.
