Why is Sables Equilibre hazelnut shortbread classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Sables Equilibre is actually assigned to NOVA 3, meaning it is processed rather than ultra-processed; its formulation includes refined wheat flour, dehydrated wheat syrup, unrefined sugar, sunflower oil and a leavening agent that contains sodium carbonate (E500), which is the only listed additive.

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

The biscuits contain 9.2 g of sugars per 100 g, a moderate amount that can raise blood glucose and should be limited by people with diabetes, while the salt level is low at 0.17 g per 100 g, posing minimal risk for hypertension but still requiring overall sodium monitoring.

Is the hazelnut content in Sables Equilibre a concern for people with tree-nut allergies?

Yes - the product contains whole hazelnuts (11%) and hazelnut flour (5.9%), both declared as allergens, so anyone with a tree-nut allergy should avoid these shortbread cookies.
