Why is бисквити шоко Gullon classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product uses refined whole‑wheat flour, a chocolate coating, vegetable palm fat and several industrial ingredients, which together meet the criteria for NOVA 4. Its additive list includes emulsifier lecithin (E322), tartaric acid (E334), sodium carbonate (E500/E500ii), ammonium carbonate (E503/E503ii), plus flavourings and other processing aids.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 26 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while 1.4 g of salt per 100 g contributes to daily sodium intake and may exacerbate hypertension if consumed regularly.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

No, it is not vegan because it contains milk powder and whey protein, it is not gluten‑free due to wheat flour, it is not keto‑friendly because of high carbohydrates and sugars, and it lacks halal certification despite containing permissible dairy ingredients.

Product Insights

бисквити шоко Gullon are chocolate‑covered whole‑wheat biscuits that belong to the Sugary snacks and Biscuits and cakes families. They carry a Nutri‑Score of E and are classified in NOVA group 4, with high sugar (26 g/100 g), moderate salt (1.4 g/100 g), saturated fat (6 g/100 g), modest fiber (3.6 g/100 g) and protein (6 g/100 g), and contain several additives (E322, E334, E500, E503) as well as palm oil, which lowers the environmental rating. While the biscuits provide some whole‑grain fiber, they are ultra‑processed, high in sugar and salt, and receive an Eco‑Score of E, indicating limited health and sustainability benefits.
