Why is Qaada Biscuit figue & miel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit contains hydrogenated vegetable fat, several raising agents, acidity regulators such as sodium carbonate and ammonium carbonate, soy lecithin as an emulsifier, artificial flavour, and other processing aids, all of which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 21.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control; although its salt is negligible, the high carbohydrate load still poses a risk for overall cardiovascular health.

Is the wheat flour in this biscuit a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes; wheat flour provides gluten and the product is labelled with a gluten allergen, so individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid it.
