Why is Magdalenas sin gluten y sin lactosa classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes multiple industrial ingredients such as glycerin (E422), xanthan gum (E415), diphosphates (E450), sodium carbonates (E500), mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471), sorbic acid (E200) and calcium propionate (E282), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How might the sugar and salt levels in these gluten‑free, lactose‑free madelines affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Each 100 g portion provides 20 g of sugar, which can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose and is therefore not ideal for diabetics, while the 0.64 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake; although lower than the average for sweet snacks, it should still be consumed in moderation by those with hypertension.

Are these madelines compatible with special diets such as vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free?

They are gluten‑free and lactose‑free, but they contain egg, soy and emulsifiers that are not vegan, making them unsuitable for a vegan diet; the high carbohydrate and sugar content prevents a keto approach, and halal suitability would depend on certification of the egg and other ingredients.
