Why is Crème Dessert Saveur Pistache classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines several industrial ingredients such as refined sugar, modified corn starch, natural flavourings and five food additives: carrageenan (E407) as a thickener, copper‑chlorophyll complexes (E141i and E141ii) and a copper‑chlorophylline colourant, plus a carotenoid blend (E160). These components are typical of highly processed foods.

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

With 14.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control. Its salt level (0.15 g per 100 g) is lower than the average for dairy desserts, so it adds only a modest amount of sodium to a hypertensive diet, but the high sugar remains the main concern.

Is the milk protein and lactose in this dessert a concern for lactose‑intolerant consumers?

Yes. The ingredient list includes 85.9 % whole milk, milk protein and lactose, so the product is not suitable for people with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, and it should be avoided by those individuals.

Product Insights

Crème Dessert Saveur Pistache is a pistachio‑flavored dairy dessert belonging to the Milk and dairy products family, specifically the Dairy desserts subgroup. It carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is classified as an ultra‑processed product (NOVA 4), containing 3 g fat (including 2 g saturated), 14.2 g sugars and 0.15 g salt per 100 g, which places its sugar content above the average for dairy desserts while its fat, saturated fat and salt are lower than typical values. The cream provides calcium and other minerals from whole milk, but its high added‑sugar level, presence of five additives (including carrageenan and copper‑chlorophyll colourants) and lack of fiber make it a treat rather than a nutrient‑dense option.
