Why is Ringo chocolate-cream coated biscuits classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuits combine refined wheat flour, palm and palm‑kernel fats, sugar, cocoa powder and milk powders, which are heavily industrial ingredients, and they also include emulsifiers (soy lecithin, E322) and leavening agents (sodium bicarbonate E500i and ammonium bicarbonate E500ii), all characteristic of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar content in this product affect people with diabetes or those monitoring blood sugar?

With 47.14 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuits can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so they should be consumed only in moderation or avoided by individuals on strict diabetic diets.

Is the wheat flour in these biscuits a concern for individuals with gluten intolerance?

Yes, wheat flour is a major source of gluten, and the product is flagged for gluten traces, making it unsuitable for people with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
