Why is Tonik placed in NOVA group 3 and what does that indicate about its processing?

NOVA group 3 denotes foods made mostly from processed culinary ingredients; Tonik contains refined wheat flour, added sugars, palm oil, milk filtrate and emulsifiers, which are industrially processed but not combined with multiple additives and complex formulations that would push it to group 4.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of Tonik affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

The 40 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while the 10.9 g of saturated fat adds to LDL cholesterol levels; however, its low salt (0.22 g) does not significantly raise blood pressure, though overall moderation is advised.

Is Tonik suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or lactose‑free diets?

No. Tonik contains milk filtrate, wheat flour (gluten) and soy, so it is neither vegan nor gluten‑free nor lactose‑free, and it may trigger allergies to milk, gluten or soy.
