Why is Crêpes dentelle au beurre classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined wheat flour, butter, sugar, milk powder and several processed ingredients, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. It contains the emulsifier soy lecithin (E322), an insoluble lecithin variant (E322i) and the raising agent sodium carbonate (E500).

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

With 38 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes. Although its salt is low (0.56 g), the overall high sugar and saturated fat outweigh any benefit for a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet.

Is the wheat flour in Crêpes dentelle au beurre a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes. Wheat flour makes up 49 % of the formula and is listed as a gluten allergen, so the product is not safe for anyone requiring a gluten‑free diet, such as individuals with celiac disease.
