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

The product contains several industrial ingredients such as modified starch (E‑1422) used as a thickener and carrageenan (E‑407) as a stabiliser, which are typical of ultra‑processed foods; these additives, along with a natural flavouring, give it a NOVA 4 rating.

How does the sugar content in Natillas chocolate affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 15 g of sugar per 100 g, the custard can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for most diabetic meal plans, while its low salt (0.1 g) poses less risk for hypertension, though high sugar still challenges heart‑healthy diets.

Is the milk in Natillas chocolate a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes, the formulation includes semi‑skimmed pasteurised milk and skimmed milk powder, both of which contain lactose; individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid this product or choose a lactase‑treated alternative.
