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

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the formulation includes refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable margarine, multiple emulsifiers, preservatives (E200, E282), acidity regulator (E330), antioxidants (E304i, E306), colour (beta‑carotene) and flavourings, all of which are typical of highly industrially processed foods.

How does the high sugar and saturated-fat content of this waffle affect diabetic or heart-healthy diets?

With 31 g of sugar and 12 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes or cardiovascular risk.

Is Gofre suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free diets?

No, the waffle contains wheat flour (gluten), eggs, butter (milk) and soy‑derived lecithin, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free and not dairy‑free, although it does not contain tree nuts beyond the trace hazelnut paste.
