Why is Bio hafer cookie classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation includes added sugars, refined palm oil, emulsifier lecithin (E322) and a raising agent sodium carbonate (E500), all of which are characteristic of industrially processed foods.

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

With 25.6 g of sugar and 13.1 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes or seeking a heart‑healthy diet.

Is this cookie suitable for strict diets like vegan, gluten‑free, or keto?

The cookie is vegan because it contains no animal ingredients, but it is not gluten‑free due to wheat whole‑grain flour and it is far from keto-friendly, providing 56.3 g of carbs and high sugars per 100 g.
