Why is Cent Wafers classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The wafer combines refined wheat flour, hydrogenated coconut fat, added sugars and multiple industrial ingredients such as caramel colour (E150c) and soy lecithin (E322), which are typical of ultra‑processed foods and place it in the NOVA 4 category.

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

With 28 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, while 24 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and contribute to blood‑pressure elevation, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic or hypertensive meal plans.

Based on the ingredients, is Cent Wafers suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or low‑sugar diets?

No; the wafer contains wheat flour (gluten), lactose and milk proteins, and added sugar, so it is neither vegan, gluten‑free nor low in sugar, and it also includes soy lecithin, which may affect those with soy allergies.
