Why is Fines Gaufrettes Chocolat Noisettes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The wafer combines refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm and palm‑kernel oils, coconut oil, dextrose, natural flavourings, soy lecithin (E322) and a potassium carbonate leavening agent, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods, resulting in a NOVA 4 rating.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this wafer affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 34 g of sugar and 15 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol levels, so individuals managing diabetes or hypertension should limit consumption despite its relatively low salt amount.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in these wafers a concern for consumers with nut allergies?

Yes, the wafers contain 6.6 % hazelnuts and note possible cross‑contamination with other nuts, making them unsuitable for anyone allergic to tree nuts.
