Why is Eclats de Pistaches classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the biscuit is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oils, and several industrial ingredients such as glucose syrup, emulsifiers and raising agents; the label lists the additives E322 (soy lecithin) and E503 (ammonium carbonates).

How does the sugar and salt content in Eclats de Pistaches impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The product contains 29 g of sugar per 100 g, which can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes and is therefore unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while its salt level is only 0.23 g per 100 g, well below typical snack levels, making it relatively benign for hypertension but the high sugar remains a health concern.

Is the pistachio ingredient in Eclats de Pistaches problematic for people with nut allergies?

Yes; the biscuit contains 10 % pistachios and 26 % almonds, both tree nuts, and the label also warns of possible traces of other nuts, so it should be avoided by anyone allergic to nuts.

Product Insights

Eclats de Pistaches are crisp biscuit pieces enriched with caramelised almonds and pistachios, made by the Swiss brand Kambly. Classified as a sugary snack (PNNS group: Sugary snacks, Biscuits and cakes), the product carries a Nutri-Score of E and a NOVA 4 rating, reflecting its ultra-processed nature, high sugar (29 g/100 g), high fat and saturated fat, low salt, and the presence of additives such as lecithins (E322) and ammonium carbonates (E503). While the nuts provide some fiber, protein, and healthy fats, the formulation also includes butter, milk powders, and several allergens, making it unsuitable for those avoiding dairy, eggs or tree nuts.
