Why does Petit Beurre Sarrasin have a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

The biscuit scores an E because it contains high levels of saturated fat (12 g), added sugars (about 19 g) and a moderate amount of salt (0.95 g); these factors generate the maximum negative points while the product gains no positive points from fiber or fruit/vegetable content, resulting in a total Nutri‑Score of 24 and grade E.

How might the sugar and saturated‑fat content of Petit Beurre Sarrasin affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 19 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, and the 12 g of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol; the 0.95 g of salt may also contribute to elevated blood pressure, so intake should be limited for these conditions.

Is Petit Beurre Sarrasin safe for consumers with gluten or milk allergies?

No; the product contains wheat flour, which provides gluten, and butter plus skimmed‑milk powder, both sources of milk proteins, so it is not safe for individuals with gluten intolerance or dairy allergy.

Product Insights

Petit Beurre Sarrasin is a shortbread‑style biscuit marketed as a sweet snack, classified under the Sugary snacks and Biscuits and cakes groups. It carries an Eco‑Score of A+ but a Nutri‑Score of E, placed in Nova group 3, indicating a processed product with high saturated fat (12 g/100 g) and added sugars (19 g/100 g) while its overall fat (16 g) and salt (0.95 g) are modest compared with typical snacks. The cookies are certified organic and Fairtrade, contain wheat flour and butter (hence gluten and milk allergens), and include buckwheat flour for extra fiber, but they also contain added honey, cane sugar and two additives (E500, E503).
