Why is Mini lunettes fraise classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 label because the formulation relies on refined wheat flour, added sugars, concentrated butter and several food‑industry additives; the product lists E330 (citric acid), E331 (sodium citrate), E440 (pectin) and E500 (sodium carbonate) as its only additives.

How does the high sugar content of Mini lunettes fraise affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 33 g of sugars per 100 g the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them inappropriate for people managing diabetes, and the added sugars also contribute to caloric excess, which can worsen hypertension when combined with a high‑salt diet, although the salt level itself is moderate.

Is the whole‑milk powder used in this snack a concern for lactose‑intolerant consumers?

The ingredient whole‑milk powder provides dairy solids and retains lactose; therefore the product is not suitable for those with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, and it is declared as containing milk among its allergens.
