Why is SABLES NOIX DE COCO ET CITRON classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it combines refined wheat flour, added cane sugar, refined rapeseed oil, butter, powdered egg and several processing steps, and it includes three food‑additives: E330 (citric acid), E500 (sodium carbonate) and E503 (ammonium carbonate).

How does the sugar/salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With about 28 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and are unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while the very low salt (0.08 g) is not a major issue for hypertension; however, the high saturated‑fat level (20 g) can still impact cardiovascular health, so the product should be consumed only occasionally.

Is the wheat flour in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the product contains 36 % wheat flour, which is a primary source of gluten, making it unsafe for anyone with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Sugary Snacks

Product Insights

This shortbread cookie with coconut and lemon is an organic French snack certified by Ecocert, presented in recyclable cardboard and plastic packaging and earning an EcoScore of A. It falls within the “Sugary snacks” and “Biscuits and cakes” PNNS groups, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as NOVA 3, indicating moderate processing, with high saturated fat (20 g/100 g), high sugar (28 g/100 g) and allergens such as eggs, gluten and milk. While it offers organic ingredients, a notable fiber content (5.5 g/100 g) and low salt, the presence of additives (E330, E500, E503) and its overall poor nutritional rating suggest it should be enjoyed sparingly.
