Why is Barquillo recubierto PRESTIGE classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The wafer is made from refined wheat flour, sugar, non‑hydrogenated vegetable fats and several emulsifiers, flavours, colourants and raising agents, all of which are industrially derived ingredients typical of ultra‑processed foods, resulting in a NOVA 4 rating.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content in this product affect a diabetic or cardiovascular diet?

With 13 g of sugar and 6 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, so it should be limited or avoided by people managing diabetes or cardiovascular risk.

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

No. The wafer contains wheat flour (gluten), whey and whey permeate (milk), and several animal‑derived additives, making it unsuitable for vegan or gluten‑free diets, while its added sugar content prevents it from being considered low‑sugar.
