Why is Tartelettes chocolat noisettes classified as NOVA 3 and which additives does it contain?

The product is considered NOVA 3 because it is a processed food made with refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oils and a chocolate‑hazelnut coating, but it does not contain the multiple industrial ingredients typical of ultra‑processed items. The only additives listed are E500 (sodium carbonate) and E503 (ammonium carbonate), which are raising agents used in the dough.

How does the sugar content of 27 g per 100 g affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Twenty‑seven grams of sugar per 100 g is a high amount that can rapidly raise blood glucose levels, making the tartlets unsuitable for people managing diabetes. The salt content is low (0.3 g), so it does not pose a major concern for hypertension, but the overall high sugar still makes it a poor choice for those diets.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No, the tartlets contain milk powder and wheat flour, which disqualify them for vegans and gluten‑free diets, and the high carbohydrate level (61 g of carbs per 100 g) makes them incompatible with keto eating plans.
