Why is Bon gelati chocolate crisp classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined dairy, sugar, cocoa paste and a chocolate coating plus industrial ingredients such as emulsifiers (E471 mono‑ and diglycerides, E322 lecithin, E476 polyglycerol polyricinoleate) and stabilisers (carob seed flour, guar gum). These additives, together with processed fats and sweeteners, place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 28.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the ice cream can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control. Its salt is low (0.1 g/100 g), so it adds little to hypertension risk, but the high sugar alone is a concern for heart‑related health.

Is the whey (sirutka) in this ice cream a concern for individuals with milk allergy?

Yes. Whey is a milk‑derived protein and is listed as an allergen (milk) in the product, so anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid this ice cream.
