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

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it includes refined sugar, invert sugar syrup, and functional ingredients such as potassium tartrates (E336) used as an acidifier and xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener, which are typical of highly manufactured foods.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 48 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while the 0.5 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and may exacerbate hypertension, so it should be consumed only in very limited amounts.

Is the egg content in this product a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes. The ingredient list includes fresh eggs, egg yolks and powdered egg white, all of which are declared allergens, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this biscuit.
