Why is the Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten‑free) classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

Because the formulation uses refined gluten‑free flours, added sugars, oil and the raising agent ammonium carbonates (E503), the product undergoes industrial processing steps that place it in NOVA 4, the highest processing category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this cookie affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 21 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for regular consumption by people with diabetes, while the very low salt (0.17 g) is not a concern for hypertension but the high calorie content may still impact weight management.

Is this product safe for people who need to avoid gluten, eggs or nuts?

The cookies are certified gluten‑free, but they contain egg and tree‑nut ingredients (hazelnuts and almonds) and may have trace milk, so they are not safe for individuals with egg, nut or dairy allergies.
