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

The product combines many refined ingredients such as wheat flour, vegetable oils, starches, sweet whey powders and multiple sweeteners, and it uses an emulsifier (E322, soy lecithin). This extensive processing and the inclusion of additives place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar content in Wafer Sticks affect a diabetic diet?

With 45 g of sugar per 100 g, Wafer Sticks can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making them unsuitable for people managing diabetes or those who need to limit carbohydrate intake.

Is the presence of peanuts and soy in Wafer Sticks a concern for people with allergies?

Yes. The ingredient list includes peanuts, soy (as part of the E322 emulsifier), as well as eggs and sesame, all of which are recognized allergens and may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
