Why is B'tween zero classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because its formulation relies on industrial ingredients such as maltitol sweetener, refined cereal flours, and multiple food‑grade additives; the label lists E322 (lecithin), E422 (glycerol), E442 (acidulant), E476 (emulsifier) and E965 (maltitol) as the main additives.

How does the low sugar and salt content of B'tween zero affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.5 g of sugars and 0.43 g of salt per 100 g, the bar contributes minimally to blood‑glucose spikes and sodium intake, making it more compatible with diabetic or hypertension‑friendly eating plans than typical sweet‑snack bars, though overall caloric load and carbohydrate amount should still be considered.

Is B'tween zero suitable for vegan, gluten‑free or nut‑free diets?

No; the product contains milk chocolate (dairy), wheat and barley flours (gluten), and roasted peanuts, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free, and not safe for nut‑allergy sufferers.
