Why is Crème anglaise saveur vanille classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines several industrial ingredients such as modified corn starch, carrageenan (E407), xanthan gum (E415), a flavoring, a colorant (carotenoids, E160) and a miscellaneous additive code (E14xx). These processed components, along with the UHT treatment, place it in the NOVA 4 category for ultra‑processed foods.

How does the high sugar content in this custard affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 14 g of sugar per 100 g, the custard can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight glycemic control in diabetes. Although its salt is low, the sugar load outweighs any benefit for hypertension, where overall carbohydrate moderation is recommended.

Is the sweetened egg yolk in this custard a concern for people with egg allergies?

Yes. The ingredient list includes "sweetened egg yolk," which contains egg proteins that trigger allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to eggs, so the product must be avoided by egg‑allergic consumers.
