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

The bar is labeled NOVA 4 because its ingredient list includes refined sugars, a praline paste, vegetable fats (palm and shea oil), cocoa butter, milk powders and several food‑additives; the only declared additives are emulsifiers (soy lecithin E322 and sunflower lecithin) and flavorings, which together place the product in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar content of Double lait affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 57 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood‑glucose rises, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, and although its salt is low (0.19 g/100 g), the overall high caloric and sugar load offers little benefit for hypertension control.

Is the milk in Double lait a concern for people with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes; the formulation includes skimmed milk powder, whey powder and butterfat, all derived from dairy, so anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid this product.
