Why does Biscuits à l'avoine receive a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

The Nutri‑Score is driven mainly by its high amounts of total fat (27 g), saturated fat (11 g), and sugars (26 g) per 100 g, which generate a large negative point total that outweighs the small positive contributions from fiber and protein.

How might the sugar and saturated‑fat levels in these biscuits affect a diabetic or heart‑healthy diet?

The 26 g of sugars and 11 g of saturated fat per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making the product unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes or cardiovascular risk.

Is the milk chocolate component a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes, the chocolate contains whole‑milk powder, skimmed‑milk powder and lactose, so it can trigger symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals and must be avoided or limited.
