Why is Digestive 0% classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as ultra-processed because it uses refined wheat flours, added palm oil, sugar‑alcohol sweeteners and a range of food additives, including citric acid (E330), sodium carbonates (E500), ammonium carbonates (E503), isomalt (E953) and maltitol (E965), all of which are typical of industrially formulated foods.

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

The biscuit provides only 0.42 g of sugar per 100 g, which is negligible for blood‑glucose control and therefore suitable for a diabetic diet, but it contains 0.9 g of salt per 100 g, a moderate level that can contribute to daily sodium intake and should be limited for people with hypertension.

Is the gluten in Digestive 0% a concern for people with celiac disease?

Yes. The product contains whole wheat flour and wheat flour, both of which are sources of gluten, so it is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
