Why is Tablette petit beurre au chocolat noir bio classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The biscuit combines refined ingredients such as sugar, cocoa butter, and milk powders with a leavening system that includes ammonium carbonate (E503) and potassium carbonate (E501), all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, placing it in NOVA 4.

How does the high sugar content of this biscuit affect a diabetic or weight‑management diet?

At 33 g of sugars per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and provides a high calorie load (508 kcal/100 g), making it unsuitable for strict diabetic or calorie‑restricted eating plans.

Is the milk powder used in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance?
