Why is Rijst Crisp’s classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is made from puffed rice and a milk‑chocolate coating that includes added sugars, cocoa butter, whole‑milk powder, whey powder and an emulsifier (E322). This combination of multiple processed ingredients and a manufactured coating meets the criteria for the highest NOVA category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Rijst Crisp’s affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 33 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes; the salt level is relatively low (0.13 g per 100 g), so it poses less of a concern for hypertension but the high sugar remains the main issue.

Is the milk present in Rijst Crisp’s a concern for lactose‑intolerant consumers?

Yes, the chocolate coating contains whole‑milk powder, whey powder and milk‑derived lactose, so anyone with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy should avoid this product.
