Why is Muesli croccante cioccolato al lattr classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product includes several industrial ingredients such as refined sugar, glucose syrup, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, whole‑milk powder, emulsifier lecithin (E322) and an antioxidant tocopherol‑rich extract (E306), all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods and place it in NOVA group 4.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this muesli affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 22.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the muesli can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control; the 5.2 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk, while the modest 0.64 g of salt is below typical levels but still adds to overall sodium intake.

Is this product suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free or low‑carb diet?

No, the product contains whole‑milk powder so it is not vegan, it includes oat flakes, wheat flour and a warning about possible gluten cross‑contamination, so it is not gluten‑free, and with 60.5 g of carbohydrates per 100 g it is far from low‑carb, making it unsuitable for those dietary restrictions.
