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

The bar combines many refined ingredients such as maltitol sugar‑alcohols, emulsifiers, flavorings and colorings, and undergoes extensive processing, which places it in NOVA 4. Its additive list includes caramel color (E150a), lecithins (E322), sorbitol (E420), mono‑ and diglycerides (E471) and maltitol (E965).

How does the sugar and salt content of this bar affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With only 3.3 g of sugars per 100 g, the bar contributes minimally to blood‑glucose spikes, making it relatively suitable for diabetic individuals, while the 0.55 g of salt is moderate and should be accounted for in a hypertension‑friendly diet.

Is the milk protein in this bar a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product lists milk proteins and whole‑milk powder among its ingredients, so it is not safe for anyone with a milk allergy, and it may also cause issues for those who are lactose intolerant.
