Why is the Heart Fondant Double Chocolate Bar classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines refined dairy proteins, maltitol sweetener, multiple emulsifiers and flavorings that are industrially manufactured, which meets the criteria for the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group. Its additive list includes E1200 (polydextrose), E322 (lecithins), E422 (glycerol), E501 (potassium carbonate), E525 (potassium hydroxide), E955 (sucralose) and E965 (maltitol), among others.

How does the sugar and salt content in this bar affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With only 0.8 g of sugars and 0.2 g of salt per 100 g, the bar is low in both sugar and sodium, making it compatible with diabetes and blood‑pressure management when consumed in moderation. However, the overall calorie density and carbohydrate load (28 g per 100 g) should still be considered within total daily carbohydrate limits.

Is this bar suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The product is not vegan because it contains milk proteins, nor is it gluten‑free as it may contain gluten traces, and it is not keto‑friendly due to its 28 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, despite the very low sugar content.
