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

The biscuits contain refined wheat flour, added sugars, candy syrup, soy flour and several processed ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate (E500) and its double‑salt form (E500ii), which place them in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Caramelised Biscuits affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 28 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuits can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for strict diabetic plans, while the 0.89 g of salt, although lower than many snacks, still contributes to sodium intake and should be limited for hypertension.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

No; the biscuits contain wheat flour (gluten), soy flour and are not labeled vegan or halal, and their high carbohydrate content (70 g of carbs per 100 g) makes them unsuitable for keto diets.
