Why is Peru dark chocolate 85% classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar is considered ultra‑processed because it combines industrially refined cocoa paste, added sugar and cocoa butter, all of which undergo extensive processing; however, the ingredient list shows no added preservatives, colorants or emulsifiers, so no specific additives are present.

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

With 16 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed sparingly by people with diabetes, while its very low salt (0.01 g) poses minimal risk for hypertension but does not offset the impact of the high sugar and saturated fat.

Is the presence of milk in this chocolate a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes; although milk appears only as a trace allergen, even minimal dairy residues can trigger symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals, so they should avoid this product or choose a certified dairy‑free alternative.
