Why is Duplo gaufrettes de chocolat au lait noisettes entières classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar is made from multiple industrial ingredients such as refined sugar, milk powder, wheat flour and palm oil, and it includes several food‑industry additives: soy lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier, sodium carbonate (E500 ii) and ammonium carbonate (E503 i) as leavening agents, and vanillin for flavor. These components are typical of ultra‑processed foods, leading to its NOVA 4 classification.

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

With 41.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control. The 16.1 g of saturated fat per 100 g may raise LDL cholesterol, which can aggravate hypertension and cardiovascular risk, so regular consumption is not recommended for those conditions.

Is the hazelnut in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes. The bar contains 17 % whole hazelnuts, a tree nut that is a major allergen. Anyone with a hazelnut or general tree‑nut allergy should avoid this product.
