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

It is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oil and egg, and includes typical industrial additives such as emulsifiers (e.g., E471), flavor enhancers and preservatives (e.g., E202), which place it in the NOVA 4 category.

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

With 26 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while 0.68 g of salt contributes to sodium intake and can aggravate hypertension if eaten regularly.

Is the egg in Dinosaurus Huevos a concern for people with egg allergy?
