Why is Biscuits Galettes Suedoise classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuits contain refined sugar, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, palm and colza oils, and a range of food‑type additives such as lecithins (E322, E322i), citric acid (E330), diphosphates (E450), mono‑ and diglycerides (E471), sodium carbonate (E500) and ammonium carbonate (E503), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed products.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in these biscuits affect a diabetic or heart‑healthy diet?

With 41 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetes management, while 14 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, so they should be limited in diabetic or heart‑healthy meal plans.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or low‑sugar diets?

No, the biscuits contain egg powder and possible traces of milk, making them non‑vegan, they include wheat flour so they are not gluten‑free, and their sugar content (41 g per 100 g) far exceeds low‑sugar criteria, rendering them unsuitable for those specific dietary restrictions.
