Why is Choco Chip Cookie classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made with refined wheat flour, palm oil, multiple sweeteners and several food‑industry additives such as soy lecithin (E322), glycerol (E422), sodium carbonate (E500) and glucono‑delta‑lactone (E575), which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Choco Chip Cookie affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 36 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes for diabetics, while its 0.84 g of salt is moderate but still contributes to overall sodium intake, so both groups should limit consumption.

Is the milk chocolate chip ingredient in this cookie a concern for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the chocolate chips contain whole‑milk powder, whey powder and lactose, making them unsuitable for those allergic to milk or who are lactose intolerant.
