Why is Breakfast Protein Bar Apricot Fig classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because its formulation includes refined grains, processed sweeteners and three declared food additives: glycerine (E422) used as a humectant, gum acacia (E414) as a stabiliser, and rosemary extract (E392) as a natural flavouring.

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

Each 50 g bar provides 12.3 g of sugars and 0.3 g of salt, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and contribute to increased sodium intake, so people with diabetes or high blood pressure should limit consumption and consider it an occasional treat.

Is this bar suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict dietary regimes?

No; the product contains honey, making it non‑vegan, includes nuts, peanuts and sesame seeds which are common allergens, and uses grains such as oats and jowar that may contain gluten, so it is not certified vegan or gluten‑free.
