Why is Chocolate and red fruit biscuits classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The 28 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetics, while the 11 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol; however, the product’s virtually zero salt content is not a concern for hypertension.

Is the milk ingredient in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Yes, the formulation contains skimmed milk powder and anhydrous butterfat, both of which trigger reactions in individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, so they should avoid this snack.
