Why does this cookie have a Nutri-Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for the low rating?

The Nutri-Score is calculated from negative points for energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt; this product scores high on sugars (31 g) and saturated fat (13 g) and moderate on salt, which together push the score into the E range despite its fiber and protein.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content affect people with diabetes or heart disease?

The 31 g of sugars per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, and the 13 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, making the cookie a poor choice for diabetics or those managing cardiovascular risk.

Is the wheat flour in these cookies a concern for individuals with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the primary ingredient is wheat flour which contains gluten, so the product is not safe for people with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
