Why is Milky CHOCOLAT AU LAIT classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 covers foods made mostly from industrial ingredients and containing additives; this biscuit uses refined wheat flour, palm and coconut fats, milk powders, cocoa products and a range of food‑grade additives such as emulsifiers E476 (polyglycerol polyricinoleate) and E322 (soy lecithin), raising agents E500 (sodium carbonates) and E503 (ammonium carbonates), plus a natural vanilla flavour. The presence of refined sugars, multiple fats and processed dairy powders also pushes it into the ultra‑processed category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Milky CHOCOLAT AU LAIT affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 34 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control unless consumed in very small portions. Its salt content is 0.6 g per 100 g, lower than the average for sweet snacks, but it still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should monitor total consumption alongside other salty foods.

Is Milky CHOCOLAT AU LAIT suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or keto diets?

No. The product contains milk ingredients (whole and skimmed milk powders, butterfat) and wheat flour, so it is neither vegan nor gluten‑free. Its carbohydrate content (63 g per 100 g) and high sugar level also exceed keto thresholds, making it unsuitable for low‑carb or ketogenic eating plans.
