Why is Biscuits tablette chocolat au lait classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The biscuits are made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, milk‑based chocolate and several processed ingredients, which places them in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. The label lists the additives E322 (sunflower lecithin emulsifier), E450 (diphosphates), E500 (baking soda) and E503 (ammonium bicarbonate) used as leavening agents.

How might the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of these biscuits affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 39 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for strict diabetic control. The 14 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, which can exacerbate hypertension and cardiovascular risk, so consumption should be limited for those conditions.

Can people following vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets consume these biscuits?

No. The product contains milk, butterfat and whey‑derived ingredients, which are animal‑based, and wheat flour, which provides gluten. Its high carbohydrate and sugar levels also make it incompatible with keto diets.
