Why is Goûters classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm fat, dairy powders and a blend of chemical leavening agents and stabilisers. The five listed additives are E223 (sodium disulfite), E450 (diphosphates), E472e (mono‑ and di‑acetyl tartaric esters of fatty acids), E500 (sodium carbonate) and E503 (ammonium carbonates), all of which are typical of highly processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content in Goûters affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 24 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is unsuitable for tight diabetic control. The 1.4 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but adds to daily sodium intake, potentially raising blood pressure for people managing hypertension.

Is Goûters suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict diets?

No. Goûters contain wheat flour (gluten), skimmed milk powder, whey powder and trace amounts of egg, making them non‑vegan and unsuitable for gluten‑free, dairy‑free or egg‑free diets.
