Why is Gullón Cookies classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cookies are deemed ultra‑processed because they combine refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oil, chocolate chips, inulin and a blend of emulsifiers and leavening agents that are not found in traditional home‑baked recipes; the listed additives are E322 (soy lecithin), E322i (lecithin variant), E501/E501ii (potassium carbonate) and E503/E503ii (ammonium carbonate).

How does the sugar and salt content in Gullón Cookies affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 22 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookies deliver a rapid rise in blood glucose, which can challenge blood‑sugar control for people with diabetes; the salt content is 0.3 g, relatively low compared with many snacks but still adds sodium that people with hypertension should monitor.

Is Gullón Cookies suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict dietary regimes?

No; the product contains wheat flour, which provides gluten, and the chocolate chips may include dairy ingredients, so it is neither gluten‑free nor vegan, although it is organic and includes inulin as a prebiotic fiber.
