Why is Skinny Crunch Light Raspberry & White Choc classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines refined grains, multiple sweeteners, a white compound coating, and several food‑grade additives, which are hallmarks of ultra‑processed products. Its additive list includes polydextrose (E1200) as a bulking agent, soy lecithin (E322/E322i) as an emulsifier, glycerine (E422) as a humectant, and sodium bicarbonate (E500/E500ii) as a raising agent.

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

With about 15 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can raise blood‑glucose levels and should be consumed only in very limited portions by people with diabetes. Its salt level is low (0.21 g per 100 g), so it adds minimal sodium to a hypertensive diet, but overall intake should still be moderated because of the sugar load.

Is this bar suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived, so the bar meets vegan criteria, although it contains palm oil, which some vegans avoid for sustainability reasons. It includes wheat flour, oats and barley, so it is not gluten‑free, and it contains soy lecithin, making it unsuitable for soy‑free diets.
