Why is Moelleux Choco-noisette classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined wheat flour, rice flour, malted wheat flour, added sugars, modified starch, humectants and emulsifiers, which are characteristic of industrial formulations; the additive list includes glycerol (E422), soy lecithin (E322), sodium carbonate (E500), sodium bicarbonate (E500ii), maltitol (E965) and a small proportion of palm oil.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 11 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuit can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose and is therefore not ideal for strict diabetic management, while its low salt level of 0.13 g per 100 g poses minimal risk for hypertension.

Is the wheat gluten in this product a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance?

Yes, the biscuit contains wheat flour and added gluten, so it is not suitable for anyone requiring a gluten-free diet.
