Why is Vitalday arroz integral chocolate negro classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined ingredients such as added sugar, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin and vanilla flavoring, all of which are industrially processed, and it lists the additive E322 (soy lecithin) used as an emulsifier, which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content of this snack affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 22 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetes management, while the 0.5 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake and may aggravate high‑blood‑pressure conditions; moderation or avoidance is recommended for these groups.

Is the milk‑derived fat in this product a concern for consumers with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the ingredient "materia grasa láctea anhidra" (anhydrous milk fat) contains milk proteins and can trigger reactions in dairy‑allergic individuals, and although it contains minimal lactose, it is still not safe for those who must avoid all dairy components.
