Why is Stichoco choco lait classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which ingredients lower its Nutri‑Score?

The snack combines multiple processed components such as milk chocolate (refined sugar, cocoa butter, milk powder, cocoa paste), added unrefined cane sugar, butter, sunflower oil and eggs, resulting in a high total sugar, fat and saturated‑fat content that drives the Nutri‑Score down to E.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this snack affect people with diabetes or heart‑related conditions?

The 36 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which are problematic for diabetics, while the 15 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, making the product unsuitable for regular consumption by those managing these conditions.

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

Yes, the product contains whole‑milk powder within the milk chocolate, so it is not suitable for people with lactose intolerance or any milk allergy and should be avoided by those individuals.
