Why is this product classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because it combines refined sugar, vegetable fats (coconut, palm kernel and palm oil), reduced‑fat cocoa powder, whey powder, emulsifiers and a preservative; the only listed additive is E492, a food‑grade emulsifier/ preservative, alongside natural flavouring.

How does the high sugar content in these truffles affect a diabetic diet?

With 40 g of sugar per 100 g, the truffles can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so people with diabetes should treat them as an occasional treat and limit portion size to avoid compromising glycaemic control.

Is the whey powder in this product a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes, whey powder is derived from milk protein; it triggers allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to dairy, making the truffles unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy.
