Why is Crackers Gouda & Graines classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined wheat flour, added glucose syrup, multiple fats and emulsifiers, and undergoes several processing steps, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. It includes two listed additives: E160b (rocou, a natural colour) and E392 (rosemary extract, an antioxidant).

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

With only 2.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the crackers have a minimal impact on blood glucose and are generally acceptable for diabetic diets. However, the 1.5 g of salt per 100 g contributes notable sodium, which can raise blood pressure, making the product less suitable for people managing hypertension.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Keto, Halal, or Gluten‑Free?

No, the crackers are not vegan because they contain butter, Gouda cheese and milk proteins; they are not gluten‑free due to wheat flour; they are high in carbohydrates (46 g per 100 g), so they do not fit a keto diet; and while they contain no pork, the cheese may use animal rennet, so Halal suitability cannot be confirmed without further certification.
