Why is Milka galette choco classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, cocoa butter, various emulsifiers (soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin), raising agents (ammonium carbonates, sodium carbonates), flavorings, and other processed ingredients, which together place it in the NOVA 4 ultra-processed category.

How does the high sugar content in Milka galette choco affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 35 g of sugar per 100 g, the biscuit can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management; its low salt (0.59 g) is modest for hypertension, but the high sugar outweighs any benefit for blood pressure control.

Is the soy lecithin in this product a concern for people with soy allergies?

Soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and, although it contains only trace soy proteins, it can still trigger reactions in highly sensitive individuals, so those with a soy allergy should avoid this product.
