Why is Gaufres de Liège aux perles de sucre classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined wheat flour, margarine, glucose‑fructose syrup, fresh eggs and several industrial ingredients such as palm and rapeseed oils, emulsifiers (E322 lecithin and E471 mono‑ and diglycerides) and an acidifier (E330 citric acid), which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 26.3 g of sugars and 0.57 g of salt per 100 g, the waffle can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and modest increases in sodium intake, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic or hypertension‑controlled diets without careful portion control.

Is the presence of fresh eggs in this product a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the product lists fresh eggs (5 % of the formula) as an ingredient and highlights egg as an allergen, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid it; the formulation also contains soy lecithin, which may affect those with soy sensitivities.
