Why is Almond Tuiles classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which ingredients lower its Nutri‑Score?

The product contains refined sugar, butterfat, egg‑yolk powder, skimmed milk powder, invert sugar syrup, added flavours and processing enzymes, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods; the Nutri‑Score E is driven mainly by the high sugar (41 g) and saturated fat (5.3 g) combined with modest protein and fiber.

How does the high sugar content in Almond Tuiles affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 41 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes in diabetics and contribute to excess calorie intake, which may exacerbate weight‑related hypertension even though the salt level is low.

Is Almond Tuiles suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

No; the biscuits contain butterfat, milk powder and egg ingredients, so they are not vegan or halal, they are high in carbs making them unsuitable for keto, and wheat flour means they are not gluten‑free.

Product Insights

Almond tuiles are thin, almond‑flavored shortbread biscuits sold under the Chabrior brand at Intermarché. Per 100 g they deliver 476 kcal, 18 g fat (5.3 g saturated), 41 g sugars, 7.4 g protein and 0.18 g salt, giving them a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA‑4 (ultra‑processed) classification. They are free from palm oil and contain a good amount of almonds (10 % flakes) and fiber (2.2 g), but the high sugar load, saturated fat and presence of multiple allergens (eggs, gluten, milk, nuts) make them less suitable for health‑conscious or allergy‑sensitive consumers.
