Why is Cookie for coffee fermented milk classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is made from refined wheat flour, margarine that includes palm oil, soy lecithin emulsifier, baking soda, ammonium bicarbonate, and a flavored “fermented milk” aroma; these industrial ingredients and processing steps place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group.

How does the sugar and salt content in this biscuit affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 19.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its 0.74 g of salt (≈0.30 g sodium) is modest but still contributes to overall sodium intake, which may be a concern for hypertension if consumed in large amounts.

Is the palm oil used in the margarine a concern for environmental sustainability?

Palm oil production is linked to deforestation and habitat loss, so its presence in the margarine adds an environmental sustainability concern, especially for consumers seeking eco‑friendly ingredients.
