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

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes several industrial ingredients such as added sugar, natural flavorings (e14xx), a modified starch thickener and other processed additives that go beyond simple fermentation of milk.

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

With 7.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the kefir can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed only in small portions or avoided by people who need strict glycemic control.

Is this kefir suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

No, it contains dairy milk and cream, making it unsuitable for vegans, and the label indicates possible gluten traces, so it cannot be considered fully gluten‑free.
