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

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the formulation combines refined oat flour, tapioca starch, added sweeteners, and processing aids; the label lists sodium bicarbonate (E500 ii) as a leavening agent, rosemary extract (E392) and a natural cocoa aroma, all of which are typical additives in ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content in Galletas cacao affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 9.2 g of sugars per 100 g the product provides a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can be accommodated in a controlled‑carb plan, while the very low salt level (0.09 g) makes it suitable for hypertension, but portion control is still needed to avoid excess calorie and sugar intake.

Based on the ingredients, is Galletas cacao suitable for strict diets like vegan, gluten‑free, or keto?

The cookies are vegan and certified gluten‑free, but they contain 37 g of carbohydrates per 100 g and 9.2 g of sugars, so they do not meet the very low‑carb requirements of a keto diet.
