Why is Plain biscuits RODEN KRAY classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm‑derived fat and whey powder, all of which are industrial ingredients, and it includes multiple food‑grade additives such as sodium bicarbonate (E500 ii), ammonium bicarbonate (E503 ii), sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium metabisulfite (E223) and rapeseed lecithin, meeting the criteria for a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed product.

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

Each 100 g serving contains 17 g of sugar, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and may not be suitable for strict diabetic control, while 0.4 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and can be problematic for people managing high blood pressure; therefore, consumption should be limited for these conditions.

Is the whey powder in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies or for vegans?

Yes, the biscuit lists whey powder as an ingredient, which is a milk derivative, making it a confirmed dairy allergen and unsuitable for vegan diets.
