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

The product includes refined flours, added sugar, high‑oleic sunflower oil, raising agents (ammonium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate), flavorings and antioxidants E304 (sulphur dioxide) and E306 (tocopherols); the combination of multiple processing steps and these additives places it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

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

With 20 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and exceeds half of the recommended daily added‑sugar limit for diabetics; the 1.1 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but adds to total sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should limit portions to stay within the advised 2 g daily sodium ceiling.

Is the wheat gluten in this product a concern for people with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?

Yes, wheat flour and wheat bran provide gluten, and the product is labelled with a gluten allergen, making it unsuitable for anyone who requires a gluten‑free diet.
