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

The biscuit is made from refined ingredients such as palm oil, wheat flour and milk chocolate, and undergoes industrial processing steps; it also contains the emulsifiers lecithin (E322) and polyglyceryl‑polyricinoleate (E476), which are typical markers of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content in Delissa affect people with diabetes or cardiovascular concerns?

The 42 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, challenging glycaemic control for diabetics, while the 16 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, increasing cardiovascular risk when consumed regularly.

Is Delissa suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or low‑carb diets?

No. Delissa contains milk, whey and wheat flour, which provide animal protein and gluten, and its high sugar and carbohydrate content makes it unsuitable for low‑carb or vegan dietary regimes.
