Why is CAO KIDO Granulés cacaotés classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is a ready‑to‑mix cocoa powder that includes added sugars, flavorings, and an emulsifier (soy lecithin); these industrial ingredients and the need for reconstitution place it in NOVA group 4, which denotes ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 25 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes unless consumed in very small portions and balanced with low‑glycemic foods.

Is the soy lecithin used as an emulsifier a problem for soy‑allergic consumers?

Yes, soy lecithin is derived from soybeans, and the product lists soy as an allergen, so individuals with soy allergy should avoid it.
