Why is Biscuit with Alpine milk chocolate filling classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit uses refined wheat flour, vegetable fats, added sugars, multiple emulsifiers (soy and sunflower lecithin), raising agents (ammonium carbonate and sodium carbonate) and flavorings, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, leading to its NOVA 4 rating.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in this biscuit affect people with diabetes or high cholesterol?

The 35 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic management, while the 12 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol levels, which can be detrimental for those monitoring heart health.

Is the milk chocolate in this biscuit a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, the chocolate filling contains skimmed milk powder, so the product is not safe for individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, and the label also lists milk as a declared allergen.
