Why does this product have a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for its low rating?

The Nutri‑Score E results from very high levels of sugar (≈29 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (≈11 g per 100 g), combined with a moderate amount of salt (0.6 g) and low protein, which generate a high negative point total that outweighs the modest positive points from its fiber content.

How might the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of these chocolate‑chip and seed biscuits affect people with diabetes or cardiovascular concerns?

Consuming the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes due to the 29 g of sugar per 100 g, and the 11 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, making them unsuitable for diabetic or heart‑healthy diets unless eaten in very limited portions.

Are the sesame seeds used in this product a risk for consumers with sesame allergy?

Yes; the biscuits contain 6.7 % sesame seeds, which are declared as an allergen, so anyone with a sesame allergy should avoid them.
