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

The bar includes refined sugars, palm oil, and emulsifiers such as soy lecithin (E322/E322i) and monoglycerides (E471); combined with multiple manufacturing steps like refining, conching and filling, this meets the criteria for NOVA 4.

How does the high sugar and salt content of Milka Caramel affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 51 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while its 0.26 g of salt, though lower than the snack average, still adds to daily sodium intake and should be limited for hypertension.

Is Milka Caramel suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No; the product contains milk powder, butterfat and whey, so it is not vegan, its high carbohydrate (56 g) and sugar levels make it incompatible with keto, and although it lacks gluten ingredients, the label notes possible gluten cross‑contamination, so it cannot be guaranteed gluten‑free.
