Why is Froletti integrali classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product mixes refined wheat flour, added sugar, lard and several processed ingredients, which places it in NOVA group 4. It includes the additive ammonium carbonate (E503ii) as a raising agent and an aroma flavoring, both typical of highly processed foods.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 29 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making them unsuitable for tight diabetic control. The salt content is low at 0.17 g per 100 g, so it does not pose a significant risk for hypertension, but the overall high sugar and calorie load remain a concern.

Can someone following a vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diet safely eat Froletti integrali?

No. The biscuits contain lard, egg and milk, which are animal‑derived, so they are not vegan. They are made with whole‑wheat flour, providing 67 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, which is far above keto limits, and they contain gluten, making them unsuitable for a gluten‑free diet.
