Why is Twibio classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Twibio combines refined wheat flour, refined sugar, chocolate paste, and several processed ingredients such as wheat syrup and sunflower oil, and it includes the additive E500 (sodium carbonate) used as a raising agent, which places it in the NOVA 4 ultra-processed category.

How does the high sugar content of Twibio affect a diabetic diet?

With 33 g of sugar per 100 g, Twibio can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, so it is not suitable for regular consumption by people with diabetes; any intake should be carefully measured within the overall carbohydrate allowance.

Is Twibio suitable for strict diets such as vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free?

Twibio is vegan and contains no animal ingredients or palm oil, but it is not gluten-free (it contains wheat flour) and is not nut-free (it includes hazelnuts), so it is unsuitable for those with gluten or nut allergies.
