Digestives The ORIGINAL
Product Insights
Digestives The ORIGINAL are classic British digestive biscuits classified as a sugary snack. They carry a Nutri-Score E and belong to the ultra-processed NOVA 4 group, reflecting the presence of refined flour, added sugars, palm oil and several food additives such as sodium bicarbonate (E500ii), malic acid (E296) and ammonium bicarbonate (E503ii). While the biscuit provides a modest amount of dietary fiber (3.9 g per 100 g) and lower sugar and salt than the average snack, it is high in saturated fat (9.7 g per 100 g), contains gluten and may contain traces of milk, making it unsuitable for gluten-free or vegan diets.
