Why is Ronditas 32% Chocolate classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product uses refined wheat flour, refined vegetable oil, maltitol sweetener, emulsifiers, flavorings and a colorant, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods; the listed additives are E965 (maltitol) and E502 (sodium carbonate) used as a sweetener and leavening agent.

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

With only 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit has minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making it relatively safe for diabetics in moderation; however, it contains 0.53 g of salt per 100 g, which contributes to sodium intake and should be limited by people following a hypertensive diet.

Is this product suitable for people with gluten, milk, or soy allergies?

No. The formulation includes wheat flour (gluten), dairy fat (milk) and soy lecithin, so it is not safe for individuals allergic to gluten, milk or soy.
