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

The bar is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes processed ingredients such as added sugar, a sunflower‑lecithin emulsifier (E322) and vanilla extract, which are combined with cocoa paste and cocoa butter to create the final product.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content in this chocolate affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 27 g of sugar per 100 g can raise blood‑glucose levels, making it a less suitable choice for diabetics, while the 26 g of saturated fat may increase LDL cholesterol, which is a concern for hypertension and heart‑health management; however, the product is very low in salt.

Is this chocolate suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the bar is vegan and naturally gluten‑free, but its high sugar content and moderate carbohydrate level make it less compatible with a strict keto diet.
