Why is Cookies American Style Double Chocolate classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because its ingredient list is dominated by industrially formulated components such as refined sugar, wheat flour, cocoa mass, vegetable oils (including palm oil), glucose‑fructose syrup, milk powders, and several manufactured additives – diphosphates (E450), sodium carbonates (E500) and lecithins (E322) – which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and saturated-fat content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 35.8 g of sugar and 13.4 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose rises and increase LDL cholesterol; the modest 0.78 g salt is below average but still contributes to sodium intake, so they should be limited or avoided by people managing diabetes or hypertension.

Is the egg in these cookies a problem for people with egg allergy?

Yes, whole chicken egg is listed as an ingredient and is highlighted as an allergen, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid these cookies; the label also warns of possible nut traces, adding another allergen risk.
