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

NOVA 4 applies because the product includes refined sugar, palm oil, emulsifiers and flavorings that are industrially processed; the listed additives are palm oil, the emulsifier E476 and a generic flavoring.

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

With 60 g of sugar per 100 g, the chocolate can cause rapid blood glucose spikes for diabetics and contributes to overall sugar intake that may worsen hypertension when combined with a high‑salt diet, so it should be limited or avoided.

Is the palm oil used in this milk chocolate a concern for sustainability?

Palm oil is flagged for its potential impact on deforestation and biodiversity loss; because the source is not disclosed, the ingredient raises sustainability concerns for environmentally conscious consumers.
