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

It is considered ultra‑processed because the formulation relies on refined ingredients such as sugar, wheat flour, corn starch and palm oil, combined with industrial additives; the product lists emulsifier E471, raising agents sodium bicarbonate (E500 ii) and ammonium bicarbonate (E503 ii), soy lecithin, vanilla flavoring, coffee flavor, and a cocoa blend, all typical of NOVA 4 foods.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of these biscuits affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 37 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making the biscuits unsuitable for diabetic individuals, while the 15 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, increasing cardiovascular risk for hypertensive or heart‑disease patients; the modest salt level (0.36 g) is less problematic, but overall the product should be consumed only occasionally.

Is the wheat flour in Coffee biscuits a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the biscuits contain wheat flour and are labeled with the gluten allergen, so they are not safe for anyone requiring a gluten‑free diet or who has celiac disease.
