Why is Galleta de mantequilla con tableta de chocolate con leche classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product falls into the ultra-processed category because it combines refined ingredients with several food additives; the label lists four additives: E336 (potassium tartrate, an acidity regulator), E392 (rosemary extract, an antioxidant), E500 (sodium carbonate, a raising agent) and E503 (ammonium carbonate, also a raising agent).

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

With 35 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit delivers a rapid glucose surge that can raise blood sugar levels, making it unsuitable for a diabetic diet unless eaten in very small portions, while its 0.43 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and lower than many snack foods, so its impact on hypertension is less severe but still contributes to total sodium intake.

Is the wheat gluten in this product a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance?

Yes; the biscuit contains both refined and whole-wheat flours that provide gluten, and the allergen information confirms the presence of gluten, so it should be avoided by anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
