Why is Raspberry Beignets classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack uses refined wheat flour, added sugars, glucose syrup, concentrated fruit juices, lemon juice concentrate, pectin (E440), natural flavourings, sunflower and rapeseed oils, yeast, leavening agents and a small amount of salt, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods, leading to its NOVA 4 classification.

How does the sugar content in Raspberry Beignets affect a diabetic diet?

With 24 g of sugars per 100 g, the product can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should limit portion size and consider it an occasional indulgence rather than a regular snack.

Are Raspberry Beignets suitable for a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

No, the beignets contain wheat flour, wheat gluten and wheat proteins, which introduce gluten, and they also include an egg component in the sugar‑egg‑sunflower oil mixture, making them unsuitable for both gluten‑free and vegan consumers.
