Why is Protein Bar Chocolat Blanc - Framboise classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is formulated from many isolated ingredients and additives rather than whole foods; the label lists maltitol (E965), polydextrose (E1200), glycerol (E422), citric acid (E330), soy lecithin (E322/E322i) and stevia glycosides (E960a) among others, which are typical of highly processed foods.

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

With only 4.7 g of sugars per 100 g, the bar is lower in sugar than most snack bars, but the sugars come from maltitol, which can cause gastrointestinal effects in sensitive individuals; its 0.93 g of salt is moderate and may contribute to sodium intake for people managing blood pressure, so it should be consumed in moderation.

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

Yes; the ingredient list includes whole‑milk powder and milk protein, which are labeled allergens, making the product unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose sensitivity.
