I'm sensitive to sweeteners. What should I know before trying this bar? — Glazed bar Nougat with Tiramisu flavor 50g Chikalab

This bar contains a reduced-sugar chocolate glaze that uses sweeteners, specifically mentioning sugar alcohols such as maltitol. Sugar alcohols are commonly used in reduced-sugar and 'sugar-free' products because they provide sweetness with a different metabolic impact than regular sugar. However, a known side effect for some individuals is digestive discomfort, which can include bloating, gas, or a laxative effect, particularly with excessive intake.

If you know you are sensitive to sweeteners or sugar alcohols, it is advisable to be cautious. Start with a small portion—perhaps half the bar—to see how your body reacts, and consume it with other food, not on an empty stomach. The product notes clearly highlight this consideration. It's also important to check the full ingredient list if you have other sensitivities, as the bar contains milk and soy. As with any dietary change, if you have chronic digestive conditions or are on medication, consulting a specialist before regular consumption is a sensible precaution.
