Why is galettes pur beurre bio classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit combines refined wheat flour, added cane sugar, butter, egg powder, skimmed milk powder and a leavening agent, all of which are industrially processed ingredients, placing it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; the only listed additive is E503, which is ammonium carbonate used as a raising agent.

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

With 25 g of sugar and 14 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making them unsuitable for people managing diabetes or following a heart‑healthy diet that limits added sugars and saturated fats.

Is the presence of trace peanuts, tree nuts, soy and sesame a concern for people with severe allergies?

Yes, the label indicates possible cross‑contamination with peanuts, nuts, soy and sesame; individuals with severe allergies should avoid the product or consult a healthcare professional, as even trace amounts can trigger reactions.
