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

Duo choc is actually classified as NOVA 3, meaning it is moderately processed; the product contains only two additives – the raising agents sodium carbonate (E500) and ammonium carbonate (E503) – and otherwise relies on wheat flour, oat flour, chocolate filling, sugars and oils.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 24 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for a diabetic diet, and its 0.9 g of salt contributes noticeably to daily sodium intake, which may be problematic for people managing hypertension; therefore consumption should be limited.

Based on its ingredients, is Duo choc suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free?

The biscuit is not vegan because the chocolate filling may contain dairy, it contains wheat flour and therefore is not gluten-free, its high carbohydrate and sugar levels make it unsuitable for a keto diet, and its halal status cannot be guaranteed due to possible animal-derived ingredients; it does not satisfy these strict dietary regimes.
