Why is Corny Free - Schoko classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar is made from refined grain flours, sweeteners, multiple emulsifiers and stabilisers, which places it in NOVA group 4; its additive list includes maltitol (a sugar alcohol), emulsifiers E442 (diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono‑ and diglycerides), E476 (polyglycerol esters of fatty acids), E322 (lecithin) and the stabiliser glycerin (E422).

How does the sugar and salt content in Corny Free - Schoko affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.5 g of sugars per 100 g, the bar is low‑sugar and therefore has limited impact on blood glucose, but its 0.3 g of salt per 100 g still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be considered by people managing hypertension.

Is Corny Free - Schoko suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or nut‑free diets?

No, the product contains full‑fat milk powder and milk‑based chocolate, wheat and barley flour (gluten), and roasted peanuts, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free or nut‑free consumers.
