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

The bar contains refined sugars (glucose‑fructose syrup, added sugar), processed oils (palm oil, rapeseed oil), emulsifiers (soy lecithin), humectants (glycerol), stabilisers (modified starch, pectin), acidity regulators (citric acid, malic acid, calcium citrate, sodium citrate) and flavourings/aroma, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar content in this bar affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 31 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar is high‑sugar and can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes; its low salt (0.29 g) does not aggravate hypertension, but the high carbohydrate load may still be a concern for overall cardiovascular health.

Is the soy lecithin in this bar a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes, soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is listed as an allergen; individuals with a soy allergy should avoid this product to prevent allergic reactions.
