Why is Galletas rellenas de crema de chocolate menos grasas saturadas classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit is labelled NOVA 4 because its formulation relies on refined ingredients and multiple food‑grade additives. It contains acidifiers (ammonium carbonate, sodium carbonate, diphosphate), emulsifiers (soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin, also listed as E322/E322i), and stabilisers such as E450 and E500/E500ii, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed products.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content in this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 31 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetes management. The 0.56 g of salt (about 0.22 % sodium) is lower than many snacks but still contributes to daily sodium intake and may be a concern for individuals monitoring blood pressure, especially if the product is consumed frequently.

Is the soy lecithin used in this biscuit a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes. Soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is listed as an allergen in the ingredient list. Although it functions as an emulsifier, it can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, so the product should be avoided by anyone with a known soy allergy.
