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

It is made from refined flours, added sugars, glucose syrup and several commercial emulsifiers and stabilizers; the label lists three food‑additive codes – E322 (lecithins), E415 (xanthan gum) and E502 (ammonium carbonates) – which together place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content of this cookie affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 29 g of sugars per 100 g, the cookie delivers a rapid glucose load that can spike blood‑sugar levels, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt (0.15 g) is harmless for hypertension but the high sugar outweighs the benefit.

Is this product suitable for strict gluten‑free, lactose‑free, or vegan diets?

It is certified gluten‑free and lactose‑free, but because it contains soy lecithin (an animal‑free ingredient) and may include trace nuts, it can be considered vegan by most standards, though the “vegan status unknown” label suggests possible hidden non‑vegan components.
