Why does Sables au deux cereales Chocolat lait receive a Nutri-Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

The Nutri-Score E results from very high negative points driven by 25 g of sugar, 8.1 g of saturated fat and 1.2 g of salt per 100 g, while it gains only a single positive point for its 3.5 g of fiber and no fruit or vegetable content, leading to a net score of 25 and the lowest grade.

How do the sugar and saturated fat levels in this shortbread affect individuals with diabetes or cardiovascular concerns?

The 25 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making the product unsuitable for strict diabetic control, and the 8.1 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, increasing heart disease risk, so people with these conditions should limit or avoid it.

Is this product safe for people with gluten, milk, or oat allergies?

No; it contains wheat flour (gluten), milk powder in the milk chocolate, and oat flour, all listed as allergens, and the label also warns of possible traces of eggs, nuts, soy, peanuts and sesame, so it should be avoided by those with these sensitivities.
