Why does this product have a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for the low rating?

The Nutri‑Score of E is driven by its high energy content (441 kcal per 100 g), elevated sugar (28 g), significant salt (2.75 g) and a relatively high amount of saturated fat (1.9 g), while it provides little to no fiber or fruit/vegetable content, all of which lower its overall score.

How does the sugar and salt content in these madeleines affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

The 28 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetics, and the 2.75 g of salt exceeds typical recommendations, potentially raising blood pressure and worsening hypertension.

Are these egg madeleines suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

No. They contain eggs, likely wheat flour and butter, so they are not vegan, not gluten‑free, and contain animal‑derived ingredients that may not meet halal standards; the carbohydrate and sugar levels also make them unsuitable for a keto diet.

Product Insights

Petites madeleines aux œufs are small egg‑flavored madeleine biscuits, classified as sugary snacks and biscuits/cakes (PNNS groups “Sugary snacks” and “Biscuits and cakes”) and produced in France without preservatives or added colourings. Nutritionally they are high in fat (21 g), sugars (28 g) and salt (2.75 g per 100 g), resulting in a Nutri‑Score of E and placing them in the processed‑food category (NOVA 3). While they deliver a traditional buttery taste, the elevated energy density and high sugar and salt levels make them a less suitable choice for low‑calorie or low‑sodium diets.
