Why is the milk chocolate bar filled with praline classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on many industrial ingredients such as refined sugars, palm‑oil‑based vegetable fats, and an emulsifier; the only listed additive is lecithin (E322) used to stabilize the chocolate.

How does the high sugar (50 g per 100 g) and low salt (0.2 g per 100 g) affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The high sugar content can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the product unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, while the low salt level is unlikely to impact hypertension but does not offset the overall cardiovascular risk associated with the high saturated‑fat content.

Is the hazelnut ingredient in this chocolate a concern for consumers with nut allergies?

Yes, the bar includes hazelnut paste and caramelised hazelnut fragments, both of which are declared allergens; anyone allergic to tree nuts should avoid this product.
