Why is Sables Parmigiano Reggiano classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because its formulation relies on refined wheat flour, butter, added sugars and flavorings that undergo multiple industrial steps; however, the label lists no E-number additives - the only non-nutrient ingredients are natural flavorings of mustard and milk, which are not considered additives under the Nutri-Score system.

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

With 4 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuit provides a modest carbohydrate load, but the 1.7 g of salt per 100 g is relatively high and can contribute to increased blood pressure, making it unsuitable for strict low-salt or hypertensive diets; the high saturated fat (19 g) also raises cardiovascular concerns for diabetics.

Is the wheat flour in this product a risk for consumers with gluten intolerance?

Yes, wheat flour makes up about 53% of the product, so it contains gluten and is not safe for people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
