Why is DOONUTS NAPPES CHOCOLAT X12 classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because it is made from refined ingredients such as sugar, refined wheat flour and milk chocolate and includes several food‑grade additives: glycerol (a stabiliser), soy lecithin and other lecithins (E322 emulsifier), and ammonium carbonates (E503 raising agent). These ingredients are typical of heavily processed bakery items.

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

With 32 g of sugar and 0.4 g of salt per 100 g, the donuts can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and add to daily sodium intake; therefore they should be limited or avoided by people managing diabetes or high blood pressure.

Is the milk present in this product a problem for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, the formulation contains milk chocolate, whole‑milk powder and skimmed‑milk powder, so it is unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy and may trigger symptoms in those who are lactose intolerant.

Product Insights

DOONUTS NAPPES CHOCOLAT X12 are chocolate‑coated donut sheets sold in a 12‑piece (360 g) pack by St Michel. They belong to the sugary snacks/biscuits‑and‑cakes family, carry a Nutri‑Score of E and are classified as NOVA 4 ultra‑processed, reflecting their high sugar (32 g/100 g) and fat (24 g/100 g) content together with moderate salt (0.4 g/100 g). While the product provides 5.6 g of protein and 1 g of fiber per 100 g, its elevated added‑sugar estimate (≈34.7 g/100 g) and four listed additives (including glycerol, soy lecithin and other emulsifiers) make it a treat best consumed sparingly.
