Why is Fruits & fibres au blé complet classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and which additives does it contain?

The cereal is made by extruding whole‑wheat and dried‑fruit mixtures, adding sugar, salt and a vitamin premix, which places it in NOVA group 3 for processed foods; its only listed additives are E300 (ascorbic acid) and E330 (citric acid).

How does the high sugar content of 24.1 g per 100 g impact people with diabetes or those watching their sugar intake?

A sugar level of 24.1 g per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the cereal unsuitable for tight diabetic control and advisable to limit or avoid for anyone trying to reduce sugar consumption.

Is this cereal suitable for gluten‑free or nut‑free diets?

No; the product contains whole‑wheat (a source of gluten) and lists nuts as an allergen, so it is not safe for people with gluten intolerance or nut allergies.
