Why is Sandwich de cacao con crema classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product uses refined wheat flour, vegetable fats, a maltitol‑based sweetener and several processing aids; additives listed on the label include E322 (soy lecithin), E500/E500II (sodium carbonate), E503/E503II (ammonium carbonate) and E965 (maltitol), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With only 2.4 g of total sugars and no added sugars per 100 g, the product has a low sugar impact for diabetics, but its 0.98 g of salt per 100 g contributes noticeably to daily sodium limits, so it should be eaten sparingly by people managing hypertension.

Is the soy lecithin in this product a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes. Soy lecithin (E322) is derived from soybeans and is declared as an allergen; individuals with a soy allergy should avoid this biscuit.
