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

The chocolate combines refined sugar, palm oil, skimmed milk powder, whey powder, cocoa butter, cocoa paste, hazelnut paste, concentrated butter and an emulsifier (soy lecithin). These industrially refined ingredients and the presence of an emulsifier place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar content of this product affect people with diabetes or those monitoring blood glucose?

With 51 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets or anyone trying to limit sugar intake; modest portions and careful carbohydrate counting are essential if it is consumed.

Is the palm oil used in Milka Tendre au Lait a concern for sustainability and environmental impact?

Yes, the inclusion of palm oil raises sustainability concerns because its production is linked to habitat loss and threatens endangered species, contributing to the product’s low Eco‑Score (F) and a negative adjustment in its environmental rating.
