Why is Crêpes dentelle Chocolat noir classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, vegetable oil and several industrial ingredients, placing it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; its label lists additives E322 (soy lecithin), E500 (sodium carbonates), E307 (alpha‑tocopherol) and additional emulsifier blends, all of which are typical of highly processed foods.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 44 g of sugar and 12 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the snack can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, which may worsen glycemic control in diabetics and increase cardiovascular risk for individuals managing hypertension, especially when consumed frequently.

Is the soy lecithin in this product a concern for consumers with soy allergies?

Yes, the emulsifier soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is listed as an allergen; people with soy allergy should avoid this snack because even trace amounts can trigger allergic reactions.
