Why does Brownie Balls receive a Nutri-Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The D grade stems mainly from the very high sugar content (40 g per 100 g) and the moderate amount of fat (17 g). The product also scores low on protein and only modestly on fiber, which together lower the overall score.

How might the high sugar content of Brownie Balls affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 40 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while the negligible salt (0.01 g) does not add to hypertension risk but the overall carbohydrate load can still influence blood pressure management.

Are Brownie Balls suitable for strict vegan, gluten‑free and lactose‑free diets, and can they fit into a keto regimen?

Yes, they are certified vegan, gluten‑free and lactose‑free, but their carbohydrate level (49 g of carbs per 100 g) is far above keto limits, so they are not appropriate for a ketogenic diet.
