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

NOVA 4 applies to foods made from several industrial ingredients and containing additives; Milka Oreo includes refined sugar, palm and palm‑kernel oils, wheat flour, milk powders and a range of additives such as soy lecithin (E322/E322i), sodium carbonate (E500), potassium carbonate (E501), ammonium carbonate (E503) and potassium sodium tartrate (E524), which are typical of ultra‑processed confectionery.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 50 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the 0.43 g of salt per 100 g contributes to daily sodium intake and may elevate blood pressure, so people with hypertension should limit consumption.

Is the milk powder in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes; the bar contains skimmed milk powder and whey powder, both of which retain lactose, so the product is not safe for individuals who are lactose intolerant.
