Why does Biscuits Sablés bio amandes citron receive a Nutri‑Score of E and what additives does it contain?

The score is driven by its high saturated fat (12 g), sugar (25 g) and overall energy (488 kcal per 100 g), which raise the negative points; the only listed additive is E503 ammonium carbonate, used as a leavening agent.

How does the sugar and salt content of this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 25 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by diabetics, while its low salt level (0.36 g) has limited impact on hypertension but the overall calorie load still warrants moderation.

Is this biscuit suitable for strict diets such as vegan, gluten‑free, or keto?

No; the formulation contains wheat flour (gluten), butter and skimmed milk powder (dairy), and a high carbohydrate load (61 g carbs, 25 g sugars), which makes it unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free or keto diets, though it is acceptable for vegetarians who can tolerate nuts.
