Why is the Cashew & Cranberry – Fruit, Nut & Seed Bars classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar is deemed ultra‑processed because its formulation relies on refined sweeteners such as brown‑rice syrup and date syrup, a vegetable oil (rapeseed oil), and processed fibre (chicory fibre syrup), all of which undergo multiple industrial steps; although no separate additive codes are listed, the presence of these sugar syrups and refined oil triggers the NOVA 4 classification.

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

At 16.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it a less favourable choice for people managing diabetes, while its 0.13 g of salt per 100 g is relatively low and unlikely to significantly impact a hypertensive diet if consumed in moderation.

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

The product is certified vegan and gluten‑free, but it is not keto‑friendly because it provides 34.7 g of carbohydrates and 16.4 g of sugars per 100 g, exceeding the very low‑carb limits required for a ketogenic diet.
