Why is Milka All Chocolate Cookie classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cookie is made from refined flour, sugar, multiple added oils and cocoa powders, and it includes industrial additives such as soy lecithin (E322), sodium carbonate (E500), glucono‑delta‑lactone (E575) and vanillin, which together meet the criteria for an ultra‑processed food (NOVA 4).

How does the high sugar and salt content in this cookie affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 40 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while its 0.75 g of salt contributes to sodium intake that may raise blood pressure, posing a risk for people with hypertension.

Is the milk content in this cookie a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes; the recipe includes milk powder, whey powder and other dairy derivatives, which contain lactose and milk proteins. Individuals with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort, and those with a milk allergy could have allergic reactions, so the product is not recommended for them.
