Why is Barquillos rellenos sabor nata classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because the product is made from refined wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils and includes several food additives such as emulsifiers (E471 mono‑ and diglycerides), stabilizers (E322 lecithin) and flavorings, it fits the definition of an ultra‑processed food (NOVA 4).

How does the sugar content in this wafer affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 42 g of sugar per 100 g, the wafer can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so it is generally unsuitable for people managing diabetes or trying to limit sugar intake; its modest salt (0.33 g) is lower than average, so salt is less of a concern for hypertension.

Is Barquillos rellenos sabor nata suitable for gluten‑free or vegan diets?

No; the product contains wheat flour, which provides gluten, and the cream‑flavored filling relies on dairy‑derived ingredients, so it is neither gluten‑free nor vegan.
