Why is Fette biscottate rustiche classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates a product made by combining several ingredients and undergoing processes such as baking and malt extraction; the label reports zero artificial additives, with only natural components like malt extract, yeast, and sunflower oil.

How does the sugar and salt content in Fette biscottate rustiche affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 7.7 g of sugar per 100 g is higher than typical rusks and can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should limit portions; the 1.2 g of salt is moderate and lower than the category average, but still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be considered by people with hypertension.

Is the sweetened condensed milk used in Fette biscottate rustiche a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product includes sweetened condensed milk, which contains lactose, making it unsuitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy.
