Why is Truffle pralines with alcohol classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines many refined ingredients, added alcohol, multiple flavorings and several food‑grade additives such as sorbitol (E420), soy lecithin (E322), citric acid (E330) and pectin (E440), which are typical of highly processed confectionery.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content affect a diabetic or heart‑healthy diet?

With 49.3 g of sugar and 16.1 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the pralines can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making them unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes or cardiovascular risk.

Is the presence of milk, soy and alcohol a concern for people with lactose intolerance, soy allergy, or those avoiding alcohol?

Yes; the confection contains whole‑milk powder, butter, whey, soy lecithin and added spirits, so it is not safe for those with lactose intolerance, soy allergy, or who must avoid alcohol.
