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

The biscuit includes multiple industrial ingredients such as emulsifier soy lecithin, raising agents (E450i and E500ii), flavorings, vanillin and other food‑grade additives, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Felice mattino affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 23 g of sugar and 0.7 g of salt per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and increase sodium intake, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure.

Is the milk in Felice mattino a concern for lactose‑intolerant consumers?

Yes, the biscuit contains dairy ingredients such as whole‑yogurt and butter, so it is not safe for individuals who are lactose intolerant or avoid milk.
