Why is Gluco-d Pepites De Chocolat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit combines refined oat bran, multiple sugar‑alcohols, chocolate chips, emulsifiers, flavorings and a range of food‑grade additives, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. Its additive list includes E322 (lecithin), E322i (hydrogenated lecithin), E502 (sodium carbonate), E953 (isomalt), E965 (maltitol) and E968 (erythritol).

How does the use of sugar‑alcohols and the absence of added sugars affect suitability for diabetic or low‑sugar diets?

Sugar‑alcohols provide sweetness with minimal impact on blood glucose, so the biscuit contributes virtually no added sugar, making it more compatible with diabetic or low‑sugar eating plans; however, total carbohydrate content is not disclosed and excessive intake of sugar‑alcohols may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Is this product safe for consumers with common allergens such as gluten, milk, soy, or egg?

The ingredient list contains wheat gluten, milk proteins (casein), soy lecithin and powdered egg, so it is not suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance, dairy allergy, soy sensitivity or egg allergy.
