Why is Galleta maría 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, high‑oleic sunflower oil and a suite of food‑industry additives; the listed additives are sodium carbonate (E500ii) and ammonium carbonate (E503ii) as raising agents, soy lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier, and sodium metabisulfite (E223) as an antioxidant.

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

With 19 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuit can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight glycemic control, while its 1.1 g of salt adds to sodium intake and may exacerbate hypertension, so consumption should be limited for those conditions.

Based on the ingredients, is Galleta maría integral suitable for vegan, gluten-free or keto diets?

No; the product contains whole-wheat flour (gluten) and honey (animal-derived), disqualifying it from vegan and gluten-free diets, and its high carbohydrate (74 g per 100 g) and sugar levels make it incompatible with keto guidelines.
