Why is Biscottes complètes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The rusks are made from refined whole‑wheat flour, added wheat gluten, rapeseed oil, yeast, salt and malted barley, all of which undergo industrial processing; the only listed additive is E300, an antioxidant (ascorbic acid).

How does the sugar and salt content in these wholemeal rusks affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is low in sugar and suitable for diabetic meal planning, while the 1.5 g of salt is moderate and below the category average, making it acceptable for most hypertensive diets when consumed in reasonable portions.

Is the wheat gluten in Biscottes complètes a concern for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?

Yes, the product lists wheat gluten as an ingredient and flags gluten as an allergen, so it should be avoided by anyone with gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, or wheat allergy.
