Why is Corny 0% Added Sugar classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar is made from refined grains, sweetened with maltitol, and includes several manufactured ingredients such as the sweetener maltitol (E965), the emulsifier lecithins, and the stabilizer glycerol (E422); these processed components together give it a NOVA 4 status.

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

With only 2.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar is low in added sugars, but the maltitol sugar-alcohol can still raise blood glucose in some diabetics, so portion control is advised; the 0.5 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and should be counted toward daily sodium limits for people with hypertension.

Is this cereal bar suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free diets?

No. The formulation includes milk powder (non-vegan), wheat and barley (gluten sources), and roasted peanuts, so it is not appropriate for vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free eating patterns.
