Why is Protein Flapjack White Choc & Raspberry classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because its formulation relies on refined ingredients such as rice syrup, sugar, soy protein isolates, palm‑derived vegetable oils, white‑chocolate flavouring and emulsifiers rather than whole foods; the only listed additive is E322 (sunflower lecithin) used as an emulsifier, along with unspecified natural flavourings.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this protein flapjack affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 24.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can raise blood‑glucose levels quickly, so diabetics should treat it as a high‑sugar snack and limit portion size; the salt content (0.6 g/100 g) is lower than average for similar snacks but may still contribute to total sodium intake for those monitoring hypertension, so moderation is advised.

Is this protein flapjack suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, or high‑protein diet?

Yes, the bar is certified vegan and gluten‑free and provides a high protein amount (18.4 g/100 g), making it appropriate for a high‑protein diet, though its high fat, saturated fat and sugar content mean it is not ideal for low‑carb or low‑fat eating plans.
