Why is Tiramisù Speculoos classified as ultra processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines rehydrated skimmed milk powder, processed biscuits, a coffee sauce and several industrial ingredients such as added sugars, alcohol and emulsifiers, which places it in the ultra processed category. It lists four additives: E270 (lactic acid), E407 (carrageenan), E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and E500 (sodium carbonates).

How does the high sugar and saturated fat content in this tiramisu affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 23 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert can cause rapid blood glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control. The saturated fat level of 8.1 g per 100 g can raise LDL cholesterol, which may aggravate hypertension or cardiovascular risk, so it should be consumed only occasionally by people with these conditions.

Is the speculoos biscuit in this product a concern for gluten sensitive consumers?

Yes, the speculoos biscuit contains wheat flour, so the dessert is not gluten free and should be avoided by anyone with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
