Why is Canistrelli assortiment Amandes Chocolat Noisettes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oils and several processing aids such as a raising agent that combines diphosphate disodique (E450i) and sodium carbonate (E500ii). These ingredients, together with flavorings and invert sugar, place the product in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 29 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its 0.67 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but still adds sodium to the diet; hypertensive individuals should limit portion size.

Is the presence of almonds and hazelnuts in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the product contains both almonds (7 % of the formulation) and hazelnuts (6 %), as well as gluten from wheat flour, so it is not safe for anyone allergic to tree nuts or wheat.
