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

The product contains hydrogenated vegetable fat, soy lecithin, artificial flavourings (E503), raising agents such as sodium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate, glucose syrup, and various emulsifiers, all of which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content in this biscuit affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With roughly 24 g of sugar and 28 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure.

Is the milk ingredient in Chip Chob a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Yes, the formulation includes skimmed milk powder and whey, which contain lactose and dairy proteins; these ingredients trigger symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals and can cause allergic reactions in those sensitive to milk.
