Why does this cookie receive a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients drive that rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns many negative points for high energy (2100 kJ), high sugar (28.5 g) and very high saturated fat (13 g), while positive points are limited to a modest fiber amount (4.8 g) and no fruit, vegetable or legume content, resulting in a low overall score and the E grade.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 28.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is not recommended for people managing diabetes; its 0.36 g of salt is lower than the average snack but still adds to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should consume it only sparingly.

Is this cookie suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based and the product carries a vegan label, making it suitable for vegans, but it contains wheat flour (type 1050), so it is not gluten‑free.
