Why is this product classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because it is made from refined ingredients such as wheat and spelt flours, added sugars, honey, butter and several functional compounds; the label lists additives E322 (soy lecithin) and E500 (sodium carbonate), which are typical of industrial formulations.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content affect people with diabetes or heart‑related conditions?

The 40 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic management, while 11 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, which may increase cardiovascular risk for those with heart disease.

Is this honey‑stuffed waffle suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or keto diets?

No; the product contains butter, honey and wheat‑based flours, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free, and its high carbohydrate and sugar content make it incompatible with keto eating plans.
