Why is Cookies chocolat noir & cacao classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined flours, added sugars, butter, cocoa paste and several industrial ingredients such as emulsifiers and raising agents, which places it in the ultra‑processed category. Its label lists additives E322 (soy lecithin), E322i (soy lecithin variant) and E500/E500ii (bicarbonate of sodium) used as emulsifier and leavening agent.

How does the sugar and salt content in these cookies affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 30 g of sugars per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for tight diabetic control. The salt level is 1.2 g per 100 g, which is moderate but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should limit consumption.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for gluten‑free, vegan, or keto diets?

The cookies are certified gluten‑free, so they fit a gluten‑free diet. However, they contain butter, eggs, milk‑derived ingredients and soy lecithin, so they are not vegan. The high carb (57 g carbohydrates, 30 g sugars) and fat content also make them unsuitable for a strict keto regimen.
