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

The biscuit is labeled NOVA 4 because it contains refined wheat flour, added sugars, honey, raising agents and a suite of food‑grade additives, including sodium acid carbonate (E500 ii), ammonium acid carbonate, propyl gallate (E310), ascorbyl palmitate (E304i) and a tocopherol extract, which are typical of ultra‑processed products.

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

With 20 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans, while its 0.53 g of salt per 100 g contributes to daily sodium intake and may be a concern for individuals managing hypertension.

Is Galletas Relieve suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No; the product contains honey and whey powder, which disqualify it for vegans, it includes wheat flour (gluten) making it unsuitable for gluten‑free diets, and its high carbohydrate and sugar levels render it incompatible with keto eating patterns.
