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

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines basic dairy ingredients with industrial additives such as modified corn starch, carrageenan, guar gum, gelatin, soy lecithin, and the emulsifier E472b, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 15.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people with diabetes should limit portion size or choose lower‑sugar alternatives to maintain glycaemic control.

Is the gelatin used in CHOCOLAT a concern for vegetarians or people avoiding animal‑derived ingredients?

Gelatin is derived from animal collagen, usually pork or beef, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, although it does not contain common plant allergens.
