Why is Bio-Oat Cookies with Organic Whole Milk Chocolate classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack includes refined sugar, invert sugar syrup, chocolate with cocoa butter and milk powder, and an emulsifier (lecithin, E322), all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods and place it in the NOVA 4 category.

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

The 33 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic management, while the 0.6 g of salt, although moderate, can contribute to elevated blood pressure in hypertensive individuals; moderation is advised.

Is the whole milk chocolate in this product a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, the chocolate contains whole milk powder and butter, which provide lactose and milk proteins; therefore the product is not safe for people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to milk.
