Why is Lait concentré non sucré entier classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it undergoes extensive processing to remove water and includes industrial stabilisers; the only listed additives are sodium phosphates (E339) used as a thickening agent and carrageenan (E407) which acts as a gelling and stabilising ingredient.

How does the sugar content of this condensed milk affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 10 g of sugar per 100 ml, the product delivers a high simple‑carbohydrate load that can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while its low salt (0.25 g) is less of a concern for hypertension but the overall calorie density should still be considered.

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

Yes, the primary ingredient is whole milk, which is a declared allergen and contains lactose; individuals with milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid this product.
