Why is Biscottes brioche flavor classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product combines refined wheat flour, added sugar, sunflower oil, yeast, whey powder, egg powder, butter flavour and the flour-treatment agent E300 (ascorbic acid); such a mix of refined ingredients and food-tech additives places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Biscottes brioche flavor affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

At 10.6 g of sugar and 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, the rusks can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose and contribute to higher sodium intake, so they should be consumed sparingly by people managing diabetes or high blood pressure.

Is Biscottes brioche flavor suitable for vegan, gluten-free or dairy-free diets?

No; the formulation contains wheat flour (gluten), whey powder (dairy) and egg powder, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten-free or dairy-free eating patterns.
