Why is Lindt Excellence Milk Chocolate classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is considered ultra‑processed because it combines refined ingredients such as sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder and malt extract with industrial additives, namely an emulsifier (soya lecithin, listed as E322) and a vanilla flavouring, which are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

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

With 50 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar delivers a very high glycemic load that can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so it is not suitable for people managing diabetes and should only be consumed, if at all, in very limited amounts.

Is the milk powder in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes; the ingredient list includes milk powder and lactose, which means the chocolate contains dairy proteins and sugars and should be avoided by anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
