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

NOVA 4 includes foods made mostly from industrial formulations with added substances such as sweeteners, colorings, stabilisers, and emulsifiers. Roger classic uses emulsifiers (E322 lecithin and E476 polyglycerol polyricinoleate), raising agents (E500 sodium carbonate and E503 ammonium carbonate) and flavorings, which place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar and salt content in Roger classic affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 37 g of sugar and 0.4 g of salt per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, and the salt contributes to higher sodium intake, which may raise blood pressure in hypertensive individuals.

Is Roger classic suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No. The product contains milk fat and whey powder, so it is not vegan; it includes wheat flour, so it is not gluten‑free; and its high carbohydrate (58.8 g) and sugar (37 g) content makes it incompatible with a keto diet.
