Why is Mini cakes marbrés BIO classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra‑processed because it includes refined wheat flour, added sugars, cocoa butter and three listed food additives: E336 (potassium tartrate), E500 (sodium carbonate) and E412 (guar gum).

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 26 g of sugar per 100 g, the cakes can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, and the 1 g of salt contributes about 20 % of the recommended daily limit, which can aggravate hypertension.

Is the wheat flour in this product a concern for gluten‑intolerant consumers?

The primary flour is wheat flour, which contains gluten; the label lists gluten as an allergen, so the product is not safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
