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

Because the bar combines multiple industrial ingredients – maltitol sweetener, milk proteins, collagen hydrolysate, vitamin premix and roasted peanuts – together with food‑grade additives such as polydextrose (E1200), lecithins (E322), glycerol (E422) and maltitol listed as E965, it meets the criteria for a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed food.

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

The bar contains low intrinsic sugars and no added sugar, using maltitol instead, so it has a minimal impact on blood‑glucose spikes for diabetics; its low salt level also aligns with recommendations for hypertension, though the high saturated‑fat content remains a heart‑health consideration.

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

No, the bar is not vegan because it includes milk proteins, whole milk powder and collagen hydrolysate, all animal‑derived; it can fit a keto plan due to its very low sugar and carbohydrate profile, but the exact net‑carb count should be checked, and while no wheat‑derived ingredients are listed, it is not certified gluten‑free, so cross‑contamination cannot be ruled out.

Product Insights

The Chocolate and Peanut Butter Flavour Vitamin & Protein Bar is a sweet‑snack protein bar positioned as a bodybuilding supplement, made from milk proteins, collagen hydrolysate, roasted peanut pieces, maltitol‑sweetened chocolate and a vitamin blend. It falls within the PNNS categories of Sugary snacks and Biscuits and cakes, carries a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed label and lacks a Nutri‑Score because it is classified as a dietary supplement, with moderate total fat, high saturated fat, low sugars and low salt. While it supplies protein, fiber and several vitamins, it also contains additives (E1200, E322, E422, E965), animal‑derived ingredients and peanuts, making it unsuitable for vegans and a potential allergen risk.
