Why is Velouté de poireaux et pommes de terre classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is classified as NOVA 4 because it undergoes industrial processing and contains refined components such as corn starch, rapeseed oil and processed dairy, even though no listed food additives are present; the inclusion of natural flavorings and emulsified ingredients also contributes to its ultra-processed status.

How does the sugar and salt content in this soup affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.5 g of sugar per 100 ml, the soup adds minimal carbohydrate load for people managing diabetes, but its 0.63 g of salt per 100 ml represents roughly 10% of the recommended daily limit and may be a concern for those with hypertension, so portion control is advised.

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

The recipe includes fresh cream and skimmed milk, both of which contain lactose and are flagged as milk allergens, so the soup is unsuitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy.
