Why is Extra dark chocolate 72% cocoa classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the cocoa mass is combined with added sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla extract and an emulsifier; the only listed additive is soy lecithin (E322), which is used to stabilize the mixture.

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

With 27 g of sugar and 27 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the bar can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic or blood-pressure-controlled eating plans.

Is this chocolate suitable for vegan, keto or gluten-free diets?

The product is labelled gluten-free, but it contains lactose and milk proteins, so it is not vegan; its high fat (44 g) aligns with keto macros, yet the 27 g of sugar exceeds typical keto limits.
