Why is the Multigrain Biscuits without added sugar classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The classification stems from its formulation that includes refined flours, a sugar‑alcohol sweetener and several food‑technological agents; the label lists maltitol (E965), lecithins (E322), sodium carbonate (E500) and ammonium carbonate (E503) as the main additives.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is low‑sugar and therefore compatible with a diabetic meal plan, while the 0.5 g of salt is also well below the average snack level, making it a safer choice for people monitoring blood pressure, though overall carbohydrate and calorie content should still be considered.

Is this biscuit suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

No; it contains wheat flour and other gluten sources, as well as skimmed milk powder, so it is neither gluten‑free nor vegan, its carbohydrate level (66 g per 100 g) is too high for a keto regimen, and halal suitability cannot be confirmed without a specific certification.
