Why does this chocolate bar receive a Nutri‑Score of E?

The Nutri‑Score is driven by the high amounts of saturated fat (22 g), sugars (40 g) and salt (0.59 g) which generate many negative points, while the low protein content (5.2 g) and lack of fruit/vegetable credits add few positive points, leading to an overall score that places it in the lowest grade.

How might the sugar and salt levels affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

A 100 g portion provides 40 g of sugar, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be limited in diabetic diets, and the 0.59 g of salt exceeds typical snack recommendations, potentially raising blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

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

It is not vegan because it contains cocoa butter and may have traces of milk, it is unsuitable for a keto diet due to its high carbohydrate (44 g) and sugar content, and while it contains no gluten ingredients, it may have cross‑contamination, so it is not guaranteed gluten‑free.
