Why does Lait Riz croustillant receive a Nutri‑Score of E?

The bar’s Nutri‑Score is driven down by very high sugar (41 g) and saturated‑fat (23 g) levels, a large total‑fat content (37 g) and low positive points from fiber (3.1 g) and the absence of fruit, vegetables or legumes.

How might the high sugar and saturated‑fat content affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

Consuming 41 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetics, while 23 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, and although the salt is low, the overall calorie and fat load can contribute to weight gain, a risk factor for hypertension.

Is the milk powder in this chocolate bar suitable for people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy?

No; the product contains milk powder and about 9.7 g of lactose per 100 g, so it is not appropriate for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
