Why is NEOH Chocolate Crunch classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The bar combines many industrial ingredients such as maltitol, erythritol, glycerin, soy lecithin and protein crisps, and it lists five food additives (E965 maltitol, E170i calcium carbonate, E422 glycerin, E428 gelatin, and E968 erythritol), which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With only 3.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the bar is low in sugar and therefore has a limited impact on blood glucose levels, while its 0.98 g of salt per 100 g is below the average for sweet snacks, making it a modest choice for hypertension when consumed in small portions.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The bar is not vegan because it contains milk powder, whey powder and gelatin, it is not strictly keto due to the presence of maltitol and a carbohydrate load of 20 g per 100 g, and although it does not list wheat, traces of gluten‑containing nuts are indicated, so it cannot be guaranteed gluten‑free.
