Why is PROTEIN BAR DELUXE chocolate peanut butter classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines a processed chocolate coating, multiple sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings and a blend of dairy and soy proteins, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group; its additive list includes E1400 (dextrin), E331 (sodium citrate), E420 (sorbitol), E422 (glycerin), E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids) and the sweeteners E955 (sucralose) and E965 (maltitol).

How does the salt content in this protein bar affect a hypertensive diet?

With 2.2 g of salt per 100 g, the bar provides about six times the average snack salt level, which can raise blood pressure and should be limited or avoided by people managing hypertension.

Is the peanut content in this product a concern for people with peanut allergies?

Yes, the bar contains both peanut flour (2 %) and peanut paste (1 %), so it is not safe for anyone with a peanut allergy and must be avoided to prevent allergic reactions.
