Why is Krounchy Proteines Chocolat Noir classified as processed (NOVA 3) even though no additives are listed?

The NOVA system rates foods by the degree of industrial processing, not only by the presence of additives; this muesli undergoes multiple steps such as grain flaking, roasting, and chocolate coating, which place it in the processed (NOVA 3) category despite having a zero‑additive label.

Is this muesli suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diet?

No; the product contains honey, which is animal‑derived, and wheat flour, which introduces gluten, making it unsuitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets, and its high carbohydrate and sugar content (14 g per 100 g) makes it incompatible with a keto eating plan.

How does the sugar content of 14 g per 100 g affect people managing diabetes?

Fourteen grams of sugar per 100 g is comparable to the average for breakfast cereals and can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose; diabetics should consider portion control and balance the muesli with protein‑rich or low‑glycemic foods to avoid spikes.
