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

The snack is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm oil, emulsifiers and raising agents, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods; its label lists additives E322 (soy lecithin), E322i, E450 (diphosphate disodique), E500 (sodium carbonate) and E500ii.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in Choco & Cookies affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 33 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, and its 0.81 g of salt combined with 13 g of saturated fat may raise blood pressure and cholesterol, which is not recommended for hypertensive individuals.

Is the palm oil used in Choco & Cookies a concern for environmental sustainability?

Palm oil is linked to deforestation and loss of biodiversity; because the ingredient list indicates palm oil is present, the product contributes to the sustainability penalties reflected in its low Eco‑Score.
