Why is Mignonnette lait classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined sugar, cocoa paste, skimmed milk powder, cocoa butter, butterfat, whey powder, plus an emulsifier (soy lecithin) and flavorings; the mix of refined ingredients, added sugars, dairy powders and additives places it in the NOVA 4 ultra-processed category.

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in this chocolate affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

The 54 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic control, while the 18 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol and can worsen hypertension, so it should be consumed only in moderation or avoided by those conditions.

Is the skimmed milk powder in Mignonnette lait a problem for individuals with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains skimmed milk powder and whey powder derived from milk, providing milk proteins and lactose, so it is not safe for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
