Why is Lait riz soufflé croquant classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 label because the bar is made from refined cane sugar, cocoa butter, milk powders and puffed‑rice that undergo multiple industrial steps, and it includes the additive E322 (sunflower‑derived lecithin) as an emulsifier.

How does the high sugar content of this bar affect a diabetic diet?

With 49 g of sugars per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be consumed only occasionally or avoided by people managing diabetes.

Is the whole milk powder in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes, the bar contains whole milk powder and a small amount of skimmed milk powder, both of which provide lactose, making it unsuitable for those who are lactose‑intolerant.

Product Insights

Lait riz soufflé croquant is a Swiss-made, organic, fair‑trade milk chocolate bar that combines cocoa, puffed rice and milk powders, placing it in the sugary‑snacks and chocolate‑products families. With 546 kcal per 100 g, it delivers 32 g of fat (19 g saturated), 49 g of sugars, 7.4 g of protein and 2.2 g of fiber, earning a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA 4 classification for being ultra‑processed.
