Why is the Goji biscuit with cassis flavor classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because it is made from refined wheat flour, added coconut sugar, refined rapeseed oil and butter, and includes a food‑grade additive, ammonium carbonate (E503), which is used as a leavening agent; the presence of these industrially derived ingredients and the additive place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Each 100 g serving provides 13 g of sugars, which can raise blood glucose levels and therefore should be limited by people with diabetes, while the salt amount is only 0.2 g, well below typical hypertension thresholds, making it relatively safe for blood‑pressure control if consumed in modest portions.

Is this biscuit suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

No, the biscuit contains wheat flour (so it is not gluten‑free), butter, milk powder and egg powder (so it is not vegan), and its high carbohydrate content (~58 g per 100 g) makes it unsuitable for a keto diet; it does not contain pork or alcohol, so it could be acceptable for halal consumers, but the presence of dairy and eggs may affect personal halal interpretations.
