Why is Tab choc choco lait classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 3) and which additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 3 because it undergoes formulation steps that add refined sugars, cocoa, leavening agents and flavorings; the only listed additive is E503, ammonium carbonate, used as a raising agent.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this biscuit affect people with diabetes or high cholesterol?

The 35 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetes management, while the 16 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol levels and increase cardiovascular risk for those with high cholesterol.

Is the milk chocolate coating a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance?

Yes, the milk chocolate contains whole‑milk powder and skimmed‑milk powder, providing lactose that can trigger symptoms in people who are lactose intolerant.
