Why is Cote d'Or Organic Dark Chocolate 70% classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar is listed in NOVA group 3, which reflects processed rather than ultra-processed status, and the reference to NOVA 4 in the question is a mislabel; the product contains no added additives, its four ingredients being cocoa paste, cane sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla extract.

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

With 29 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause significant blood sugar spikes and should be limited by diabetics; the salt amount is only 0.08 g, so it has minimal impact on blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Is the trace of milk in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the product is declared to contain possible traces of milk, which can trigger reactions in people with dairy allergies, so they should avoid it or verify with the manufacturer.
