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

The product uses refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm and rapeseed oils, and several processing aids such as emulsifier lecithin (E322) and a raising agent sodium carbonate (E500), which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 30 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for diabetics, while the 11 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, a concern for heart‑healthy or hypertensive diets, although the salt level is relatively low.

Is the peanut content in this product a concern for people with nut allergies or for sustainability?

The cookies contain 25 % roasted peanuts, so they pose a clear risk for anyone allergic to peanuts, and the inclusion of palm oil in the vegetable oil blend raises sustainability concerns due to its association with deforestation.
