Why is Les cookies Bio aux pépites de chocolat noir classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cookies contain refined sugar, cocoa butter, egg powder, skimmed milk powder and a raising agent made of carbonates of ammonium (E503). The presence of multiple industrially processed ingredients and the additive E503 places the product in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and saturated fat content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 35 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for diabetic management. The 15 g of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol, which may exacerbate hypertension and increase cardiovascular risk, so consumption should be limited.

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

Yes, egg powder is an explicit ingredient and is listed among the allergens. Individuals with an egg allergy should avoid these cookies.
