Why is Riz au lait Rhum Raisins classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because the formulation uses refined ingredients and additives such as caramel colour (E150), glucose syrup, added sugar, natural vanilla flavour, carrot concentrate colour and a small amount of rum, which go beyond simple combination of whole foods.

How does the high sugar content in Riz au lait Rhum Raisins affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 17.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood glucose spikes and is not recommended for people managing diabetes, while its low salt (0.17 g) poses less concern for hypertension, but the overall high sugar still makes it unsuitable for strict low-sugar diets.

Is the milk in Riz au lait Rhum Raisins a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes, the pudding contains whole milk (54.57%) and skimmed milk powder, both of which provide lactose and milk proteins, so it should be avoided by anyone with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy.
