Why is Chocolate negro 0% azúcares añadidos Frutas del Bosque classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from multiple refined ingredients, cocoa paste, cocoa butter, reduced‑fat cocoa powder, several concentrated fruit purees, and three separate sweeteners (maltitol, lactitol, acesulfame K). The formulation also includes a gelling agent (pectin), an emulsifier (soy lecithin with currant aroma), and a natural vanilla flavor, all of which are industrially processed, placing it in the ultra‑processed category.

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

The bar provides 7.8 g of total sugars per 100 g, which is modest compared with many confectioneries but can still raise blood glucose, so diabetics should limit portions; the salt level is very low (0.03 g), posing minimal impact on blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Is this chocolate suitable for strict dietary regimes such as vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free?

It is gluten‑free and its listed plant‑based ingredients are vegan, but the presence of possible milk traces and the use of sweeteners that contain polyols (maltitol, lactitol) make it unsuitable for strict keto or halal certification without further verification.
