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

The product is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oils, emulsifiers and flavourings, which are typical of industrially formulated foods; the label lists three additives: the colour caroteen (E160a), citric acid (E330) and sodium bicarbonate (E500/E500ii) used as a raising agent.

How does the sugar and salt content in Zachte Wafels affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Each 100 g portion provides about 25 g of sugar, which can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited in a diabetic diet, while the salt content is negligible, so it does not significantly impact blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Is the egg ingredient in Zachte Wafels a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the product contains egg and is clearly labeled as containing this allergen, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid consuming these waffles.
