Why is Flor u natura castellana integral classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is ultra‑processed because it combines refined wheat flour, added sugars, refined oil and multiple food‑grade additives; the label lists E304 (tocopherol‑rich antioxidant), E322/E322i (soy lecithin), E500/E500ii (sodium bicarbonate) and E503/E503ii (ammonium bicarbonate).

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

With 18 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while 1.2 g of salt contributes significantly to daily sodium intake and may worsen hypertension, so it should be consumed only occasionally.

Is the soy lecithin in this product a concern for soy‑allergic consumers?

Yes; soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is listed as an allergen, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid this biscuit.
