Why is Our Little Butter without added salt with sesame classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

The biscuit includes added sugars, butter, a leavening agent and refined wheat flour, which are typical of ultra‑processed foods; the only listed additive is ammonium carbonate (E503) used as a raising agent.

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

With 16 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, and its 9.6 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, which may be unfavourable for heart‑healthy diets.

Is the milk present in this product a problem for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes, the biscuit contains butter made from milk and also includes skimmed milk powder, so it should be avoided by anyone with a dairy allergy, and it may cause discomfort for those who are lactose intolerant.
