Why does Organic chocolate and seed biscuits receive a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

The E rating is driven by the product’s very high sugar (29 g) and saturated‑fat (11 g) content, together with a high overall energy value (504 kcal per 100 g), while it contains no fruits, vegetables or legumes to offset the negative points.

How do the sugar and saturated‑fat levels in these biscuits impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 29 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the biscuits unsuitable for strict diabetic control, and the 11 g of saturated fat adds to cardiovascular risk, which is a concern for people managing high blood pressure.

Can someone following a vegan diet eat these biscuits, considering their ingredient list?

No, the biscuits are not vegan because they contain butter and egg powder, both animal‑derived ingredients, even though the other components are organic and plant‑based.
