Why is the Vitamin & Protein Bar classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines refined cocoa butter, maltitol, polydextrose, multiple emulsifiers, flavorings and hydrolysed collagen, all manufactured ingredients that place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; its label lists six food additives: E1200 (acidity regulator), E322 (lecithin), E422 (glycerol), E955 (sucralose), E965 (maltitol) and E967 (xylitol).

How does the salt content in this bar affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.71 g of salt per 100 g, the bar contributes about 12 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum daily sodium intake, which can raise blood pressure in sensitive individuals; people managing hypertension should limit consumption and consider the bar’s overall sodium load within their daily totals.

Is the Vitamin & Protein Bar suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

The product is not vegan because it contains whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder and milk protein, and it is not gluten‑free as trace gluten is listed; it is not keto‑friendly due to 27.4 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, but it is generally acceptable for halal consumers since the listed ingredients are permissible and no pork‑derived additives are present.
