Panealba Biscotti Integrali

The barcode 8000972000550 is associated with "Panealba Biscotti Integrali" (Integral Biscotti by Panealba), a brand of Italian baked goods. Below are the details available based on general product databases, market trends, and consumer reports:

Product Overview

• Type: Biscotti (twice-baked Italian cookies), specifically integral (whole grain).
• Brand: Panealba, an Italian bakery chain known for traditional Italian pastries, bread, and biscuits.
• Common Variants: These biscotti are typically almond-flavored, dense, and designed for dipping in coffee or dessert wines (like Vin Santo). The "integral" version suggests they contain whole wheat or other whole grains, which may affect texture and nutritional profile compared to standard almond biscotti.

Nutritional & Ingredient Concerns (General for Whole-Grain Biscotti)

1. High in Carbohydrates & Calories: Like most biscotti, they are calorie-dense due to their high fat (from almonds/oils) and sugar content. A typical serving (2–3 biscotti) may contain 150–250 kcal, with 10–15g of sugar and 3–5g of fiber (if whole grain).
2. Allergen Risks:
   • Nuts (almonds): Common in biscotti; cross-contamination with other nuts or seeds is possible in production facilities.
   • Gluten: Traditional biscotti contain wheat flour; the "integral" version may still include gluten unless labeled otherwise (check for "gluten-free" claims).
   • Sulfites: Some Italian bakeries use sulfites as preservatives; Panealba’s products may contain them (though not always).
3. Additives: May include emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin), preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate), or artificial flavors. Whole-grain versions might have added vitamins/minerals (e.g., iron, B vitamins).
4. Sodium Content: Typically moderate but can vary; some brands add salt for flavor.
