Why is Fres et Fondant vanille de Madagascar classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled ultra‑processed because the formulation mixes refined ingredients such as added sugar, skimmed milk powder, corn starch and a natural vanilla flavor, and it uses the food‑grade thickener carrageenan (E‑407) to achieve its smooth texture.

How does the sugar content of this vanilla dessert affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 14.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while its low salt (0.15 g) does not pose a major issue for hypertension but the high sugar remains the primary concern.

Is the milk present in this product a concern for people with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the dessert contains whole milk, cream, skimmed milk powder and naturally occurring lactose, so it is not safe for anyone allergic to milk proteins or who experiences lactose intolerance.
