Why is Génoise chocolat noir framboise classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from refined glucose‑fructose syrup, added sugars, palm‑derived vegetable fat and several functional additives such as emulsifier E322 (soy lecithin), acidity regulator E330 (citric acid), stabiliser E420ii (sorbitol), gelling agent E440 (pectin), emulsifier E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids) and leavening agents E331 and E502, all of which are characteristic of highly industrially processed foods, placing it in NOVA 4.

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

With 52 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes unless consumed in very small portions and accounted for within the total daily carbohydrate allowance.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No; the cake contains whole eggs, wheat flour and wheat starch, which introduce animal protein and gluten, and its carbohydrate level (69 g/100 g) far exceeds keto limits, while the presence of palm oil and soy lecithin means it is not vegan either.
