Product Insights
Digestive Light is a wheat‑based sweet biscuit classified as a sugary snack within the "Sugary snacks" and "Biscuits and cakes" dietary families. It carries a Nutri‑Score of D and belongs to the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group, reflecting the presence of refined flour, added sugars, glucose‑fructose syrup and three food‑grade additives (E296, E472e, E500). Nutritionally, the biscuit offers modest protein (7.2 g) and fiber (3.7 g) per 100 g, but its sugar (19.6 g), fat (14.5 g) and salt (0.97 g) levels are still significant, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.
