Why does Broyés du Poitou receive a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The E grade stems from a combination of very high energy (516 kcal per 100 g), saturated fat (18 g), total sugar (26 g) and a modest contribution from salt (0.63 g). These factors generate the maximum negative points in the Nutri‑Score algorithm, outweighing any positive points from protein or fiber, resulting in the lowest possible rating.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content in Broyés du Poitou affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 26 g of sugars per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is challenging for people with diabetes, while the 18 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, a concern for hypertension and cardiovascular risk. The modest salt level (0.63 g) is lower than many snacks but still adds to overall sodium intake if consumed in large amounts.

Is Broyés du Poitou suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

No. The biscuits contain butter, milk and fresh eggs, making them unsuitable for vegans, and they rely on wheat flour, which contains gluten, so they are not gluten‑free. Their high carbohydrate (63 g) and sugar content also place them far outside the low‑carb thresholds required for a keto diet.

Product Insights

Broyés du Poitou are traditional French short‑bread biscuits made from wheat flour, butter, sugar, fresh eggs and salt, packaged by Auchan Gourmet in 280 g plastic‑film and cardboard sleeves. They belong to the sugary‑snack and biscuits‑and‑cakes groups, carry a Nutri‑Score of E and are classified in NOVA 3, reflecting a high level of processing and a nutritional profile that includes 27 g fat, 18 g saturated fat, 26 g sugars and 0.63 g salt per 100 g, with low fiber and moderate protein.
