Why is La gaufrette classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, milk powder, egg‑yolk powder and several other industrial ingredients, and it includes the emulsifier E322 (soy lecithin) and the raising agent E501, which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content in La gaufrette affect a diabetic or cardiovascular‑risk diet?

The 37 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while the 25 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, so consumption should be limited for these conditions.

Is La gaufrette suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No. The wafer contains wheat flour (gluten), milk powder and butterfat (dairy), and egg‑yolk powder, so it is not gluten‑free, vegan, or keto‑friendly, which requires very low carbohydrate and no animal‑derived ingredients.
