Why is Cookies Chocolat + amandes sans gluten classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined corn flour, added cane sugar, butter, chocolate chips and several processed ingredients; the listed additives are guar gum (E412) used as a thickener and ammonium carbonate (E503i) used as a leavening agent, both of which contribute to its ultra‑processed status.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content of this cookie affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 21 g of sugars per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetes; the 12 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, and while salt is moderate at 0.42 g, it still adds to sodium intake, making the product unsuitable for regular consumption by those managing blood pressure.

Is this product suitable for strict dietary regimes such as vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

It is certified gluten‑free and organic, but contains butter (dairy) and egg, so it is not vegan or halal without certification; its high carbohydrate level (53 g per 100 g) also makes it incompatible with a keto diet, limiting its suitability to gluten‑free diets only.
