Why is Noir intense dessert 70% classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the formulation includes refined cocoa paste, sugar, reduced-fat cocoa, cocoa butter, soy lecithin as an emulsifier and a natural vanilla flavoring, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; the only listed additive is the emulsifier identified as E322 (soy lecithin).

How does the sugar and saturated fat content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 30 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar delivers a high glycemic load that can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while 22 g of saturated fat per 100 g can raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk; however, its very low salt (0.03 g) does not significantly impact blood pressure.

Is the soy lecithin used as an emulsifier a concern for people with soy allergy?

Soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is declared as an allergen, so individuals with a soy allergy should avoid this chocolate, even though it represents only about 3 % of the total formulation.
