Why is Double chocolate crisps classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product mixes many industrial ingredients such as added sugar, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, margarine with refined vegetable fats and oils, plus several functional additives including lecithins (E322), mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471), diphosphates (E450), sodium carbonates (E500), ammonium carbonates (E503) and citric acid (E330), which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and salt content of Double chocolate crisps affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 41 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the biscuit unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while the 0.65 g of salt is moderate but the overall high sugar and saturated‑fat load can contribute to cardiovascular risk, which is a concern for hypertensive individuals.

Is Double chocolate crisps suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No. The formulation contains egg powder, wheat flour and traces of milk, so it is neither vegan nor gluten‑free, and with 61 g of carbohydrates per 100 g it far exceeds the low‑carb threshold required for a keto diet.
