Why is Assortiment dégustation classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The mix includes refined sugars, palm‑derived fats, flavorings and industrially created ingredients such as caramel, which mark it as ultra‑processed, and it lists additives E322 (sunflower lecithin) and E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids).

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 53 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, while the 17 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol; the low salt (0.17 g) is less of a concern for hypertension but overall the product is not recommended for these conditions.

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

It is not vegan because it contains whole‑milk powder, butter and whey, not gluten‑free due to wheat flour, not keto-friendly because carbohydrates from sugar and cocoa powder exceed keto limits, and its halal status depends on the source of the palm oil and animal‑derived components, which are not specified.
