Why is Galettes au beurre classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The wafers are marked as NOVA 3 because they are made from refined wheat flour, added sugar, butter, eggs and a raising agent, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the only listed additive is ammonium carbonate (E503), used as a leavening agent.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content in this product affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

The 41 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the wafers unsuitable for people with diabetes, while the 0.4 g of salt is modest but still contributes to total sodium intake, so individuals with hypertension should consume them only occasionally.

Is the butter in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, butter contains milk fat and is listed as a milk allergen; anyone with a dairy allergy should avoid these wafers.
