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

The product combines many industrial ingredients such as emulsifiers (E‑472b, E‑435, E‑475), stabilisers (E‑331, carrageenan E‑407, guar gum E‑412), a colour (annatto E‑160b), a preservative (potassium sorbate E‑202) and a sulfite agent (E‑223), which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar content of Natillas galleta affect people with diabetes or those managing blood sugar?

With 19.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the pudding can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes; diabetic or low‑carb consumers should limit portion size or choose a lower‑sugar alternative to avoid disrupting glycaemic control.

Is the presence of gluten and milk allergens in Natillas galleta a concern for individuals with celiac disease or milk allergy, and are there any sustainability concerns with its palm oil content?

Yes, the product contains wheat flour (gluten) and skimmed milk, making it unsuitable for people with celiac disease or milk allergy. It also includes palm oil, which raises sustainability issues due to deforestation and threatened species, as reflected in its ecoscore adjustments.
