Why is Roshetto Dark classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It contains refined sugar, wheat flour, palm oils, cocoa powder, coconut oil, whey permeate, dried milk powders, soy lecithin, and leavening agents (ammonium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate, listed as E500/E500ii); these industrial ingredients and multiple processing steps place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content in Roshetto Dark affect people with diabetes or cardiovascular risk?

The 40 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, while 20.7 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol, both increasing the risk of metabolic and heart‑related complications; the product’s low salt does not offset these concerns.

Is the milk in Roshetto Dark a problem for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes, the biscuit contains both whole‑milk powder and skimmed‑milk powder, as well as whey permeate derived from milk, making it unsuitable for anyone avoiding dairy proteins or lactose.
