Why is Eclats caramel & fleur de sel noir classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines multiple processed ingredients such as cocoa paste, refined sugar, butter, milk powder and caramel pieces that are formulated with emulsifier lecithins (E322); the presence of these industrial additives and the multiple processing steps place it in NOVA 4.

How does the high sugar and salt content in this chocolate affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 54 g of sugar and 0.42 g of salt per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and increase sodium intake, which may worsen glycemic control for diabetics and raise blood pressure for hypertensive individuals, so it should be consumed only occasionally.

Is the milk content in this product a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Yes, the formulation includes butter, lactose, skimmed‑milk powder and anhydrous milk fat, all of which contain dairy proteins and lactose; therefore it is unsuitable for anyone avoiding milk or lactose.
