Why is Barquillos rellenos de nata 0% classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is made from refined ingredients such as wheat flour, sugar-alcohol sweeteners, emulsifiers and other processed components, and it includes five main additives: E965 (maltitol), E953 (isomalt), E322 (soy lecithin), E500II (sodium carbonate) and E503II (ammonium carbonate), all typical of ultra-processed foods.

How does the combination of low sugar and high saturated fat in Barquillos rellenos de nata 0% affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The low 1 g sugar per 100 g means a small impact on blood glucose, which can be acceptable for diabetes, but the 13 g saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, while the modest 0.23 g salt has little effect on blood pressure; overall, the product is not ideal for heart-healthy or strict diabetic meals due to its high saturated fat.

Is Barquillos rellenos de nata 0% suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

No; it contains dairy cream and milk powder (non-vegan), wheat flour and starch (gluten), palm-derived fats and sugar-alcohols (not keto), and while it does not contain pork, the presence of soy lecithin and possible trace nuts makes halal certification uncertain.
