Why is Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines refined ingredients such as palm kernel oil, allulose, processed cocoa and a peanut butter paste, and it includes the emulsifier lecithin (E322), all of which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this bar affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar adds minimal glucose load, but it still contributes 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, which, although lower than the typical snack average, should be counted toward daily sodium limits for hypertension management.

Is the peanut content in this product a concern for people with nut allergies, and what other allergens are present?

Yes, the bar contains both peanuts and almonds, which are major tree‑nut and legume allergens, and it also includes soy lecithin, making it unsuitable for anyone with peanut, almond or soy allergies.
