Why is Mikado Zartherbe Schokolade classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The biscuit contains refined wheat flour, added sugars, cocoa mass, vegetable fats (palm and coconut), cocoa butter, whey powder, clarified butter, emulsifiers (soy lecithin and E476), a raising agent (E503) and flavourings, which are all industrially processed ingredients; this combination of multiple additives and processed fats places it in NOVA group 4, indicating an ultra‑processed food.

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

With 32 g of sugars per 100 g, the biscuit far exceeds typical sweet‑snack levels and can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control. Although its salt (0.78 g per 100 g) is lower than the average snack, it still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited in hypertension.

Is the wheat flour in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes. Wheat flour is the primary ingredient and contains gluten; the product is labelled with a gluten allergen, so it should be avoided by anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
