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

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on refined ingredients such as sugar, cocoa butter, skimmed milk powder, whey powder, glucose syrup and added emulsifiers; the only listed additive is E322 (lecithins) used as an emulsifier, along with a natural vanilla flavor.

How does the high sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With about 57 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so people with diabetes should limit consumption; the low salt level (0.17 g) does not add significant sodium risk for hypertension, but the overall calorie and carbohydrate load remain high.

Is GALAK Chocolat Blanc suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The bar is not vegan because it contains milk powder and milk fat; it is marketed as gluten‑free but traces of gluten may be present, and the very high sugar and carbohydrate content (≈57 g carbs per 100 g) makes it unsuitable for keto or low‑carb diets.
