Why is Sensations cookies classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cookies contain refined sugar, palm oil, several emulsifiers and five listed additives – E160a (carotene colour), E450 (diphosphates), E500 (sodium carbonates), E503 (ammonium carbonates) and an unspecified E14xx group – which together meet the criteria for NOVA 4 ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content in Sensations cookies affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 39 g of sugar and 0.89 g of salt per 100 g, the cookies can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and contribute to sodium intake, so they should be limited or avoided by people managing diabetes or high blood pressure.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or dairy‑free diets?

No. The formulation includes milk fat, whey powder, lactose, and egg allergens, as well as wheat flour and wheat starch, making it unsuitable for vegan, dairy‑free, and gluten‑free diets.
