Why is CHOCO PEANUTS classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation includes refined ingredients such as sugar, palm‑derived fats, whey powder, and multiple emulsifiers and flavourings; the listed additives are caramel colour (E150a), lecithins (E322) and sorbitan tristearate (E492), plus other emulsifier blends.

How does the sugar and salt content in CHOCO PEANUTS affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 24 g of added sugars per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its very low salt (0.16 g) poses little risk for hypertension, though the high saturated fat may still be a concern for heart health.

Is the peanut ingredient in CHOCO PEANUTS a concern for people with peanut allergies?

Yes; peanuts make up 59 % of the bar, and the product is declared to contain peanuts, so it must be avoided by anyone with a peanut allergy.
