Why is Cappuccino en Stick classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because it is made from a blend of refined sugar, glucose syrup, hydrogenated coconut fat, maltodextrine, and several food‑grade additives such as calcium phosphate (E340) as a stabiliser and silicon dioxide (E551) as an anti‑caking agent, the product falls into the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the high sugar and salt content in this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 47 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by diabetics, while the 0.22 g of salt per 100 g, though close to average, may contribute to increased blood pressure in hypertensive individuals if consumed in large amounts.

Is the milk powder in Cappuccino en Stick a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Yes; the formulation includes skimmed milk powder, partially skimmed milk powder, whey protein concentrate and whey permeate, all of which contain milk proteins and are flagged as milk allergens, so people with dairy intolerance should avoid it.
