Why is Creme dessert caramel classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation uses refined ingredients such as added sugar, modified corn starch, and a caramel flavor that are industrially processed, and it includes additives like carrageenan (E407) for thickening and natural flavourings (often coded as E14xx) to enhance taste.

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

With 15 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, so people managing diabetes should limit its portion size or avoid it altogether to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Is the milk in Creme dessert caramel a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the product contains whole milk, milk proteins and lactose, making it unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
