Why is Dinkel Doppelkeks classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because it combines refined spelt flour with added sugars, palm oil, cocoa powder, milk powder and honey, and uses a raising agent (baking soda, E500) and other processing aids, which are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 28 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its 0.28 g of salt (112 mg sodium) is modest and unlikely to aggravate hypertension, though the high saturated fat also contributes to cardiovascular risk.

Is the spelt flour used in this product a problem for individuals with gluten intolerance?

Yes, spelt is a wheat relative and contains gluten; therefore the biscuit is not safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
