Why is Biscuits Dégustation milk chocolate classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It contains many refined and industrial ingredients such as added sugars, cocoa butter, skimmed milk powder, glucose syrup and multiple emulsifiers, plus a raising agent and citric acid; the listed additives are E322 (lecithins), E322i, E330 (citric acid) and E500 (sodium carbonates).

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content of this biscuit affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 37 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while the 0.43 g of salt is lower than the category average but still contributes to sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should consume it sparingly.

Is the milk present in this biscuit a concern for lactose‑intolerant or dairy‑allergic individuals?

Yes; the product includes skimmed milk powder, milk fat, lactose and milk proteins, which trigger reactions in both lactose‑intolerant and dairy‑allergic consumers.
