Why is the Chocolate Filled Biscuit classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined wheat flour, refined sugars, cocoa paste, vegetable oil and several processing aids; the label lists the additives E392 (rosemary extract antioxidant), E414 (acacia gum thickener), E500 (sodium carbonate) and E503 (ammonium carbonate).

How does the sugar and salt content of this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 27 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its 0.5 g of salt contributes modestly to sodium intake but should still be limited for hypertension.

Is the presence of milk powder in this biscuit a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes; the product contains skimmed milk powder and a small amount of lactose (about 0.1 g per 100 g), which can trigger symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals.
