Why is Revilon Pap. escarg. nr / LT classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The candy combines several refined ingredients such as milk chocolate, praline, dark chocolate, added sugars, vegetable fats from palm and palm kernel, and emulsifier soy lecithin (E322). These industrially derived components, together with the presence of multiple processing steps, place it in NOVA group 4, which denotes ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content of this candy affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 45 g of sugar and 16 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, which are problematic for diabetes management and blood‑pressure control. Regular consumption may impede glycemic stability and contribute to cardiovascular risk, so it should be limited or avoided by those conditions.

Is the presence of hazelnuts and milk in this product a concern for people with nut or dairy allergies?

Yes. The candy contains hazelnut praline (28 % of the formulation) and milk chocolate, both of which are common allergens. It is also labeled with milk, nuts and soy, so individuals with allergies to any of these ingredients should avoid the product.
