Why is Cookies aux pépites de chocolat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 label because the formulation relies on industrially processed ingredients such as refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm oil, and three food‑grade additives, E322 (lecithin), E450 and E500 (both raising agents), which place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of these chocolate chip cookies affect people with diabetes or heart‑related conditions?

The 32 g of sugars and 14 g of saturated fat per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, so regular consumption may aggravate diabetes management and increase cardiovascular risk, especially when eaten in large portions.

Is the presence of palm oil in this product a concern for sustainability or health?

The palm oil is UTZ‑certified, indicating more sustainable sourcing than conventional palm oil, but it contributes to the high saturated‑fat level and may be avoided by consumers seeking lower‑fat or palm‑oil‑free foods.
