Why does this speculoos have a Nutri-Score of E and which nutrients drive that rating?

The E rating is caused by its very high sugar content (35 g), saturated fat (7.5 g) and moderate salt (0.69 g), which together generate the maximum negative points in the Nutri-Score algorithm, outweighing the small positive contribution from fiber.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content affect people with diabetes or heart disease?

Elevated sugar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the product unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the saturated fat adds to LDL cholesterol levels, which can increase cardiovascular risk for those with heart disease.

Is the soy flour used in this speculoos a concern for soy‑allergic consumers?

Yes, soy flour is listed as an ingredient and the product is labeled with a soy allergen warning, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid it.
