Why is Hafercookies 42% classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

The cookies combine refined oat flakes, added sugars, invert sugar syrup, sunflower oil and a raising agent, which are typical of ultra‑processed foods; the only listed additive is E500 (sodium carbonate) used as a leavening agent.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Hafercookies 42% affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

At 25 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while 0.82 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but may contribute to higher sodium intake for those managing hypertension.

Is Hafercookies 42% suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

All ingredients are plant‑based, so the cookies are vegan, but they contain wheat whole‑grain flour, which provides gluten; therefore they are not safe for a gluten‑free diet.
