Why is Riz au lait nature classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and which ingredients drive this rating?

The product is labeled NOVA 3 because it contains added ingredients such as refined sugar and rice starch that are not present in the original raw foods, and it undergoes heating and homogenisation to create a smooth pudding texture; these processing steps move it beyond a minimally processed state.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this rice pudding affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 11 g of sugar per 100 g, the pudding can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes, whereas the very low salt content (0.1 g) poses little risk for hypertension.

Is the whole milk in this product a problem for individuals with lactose intolerance?

Whole milk accounts for 79 % of the formulation and contributes roughly 3.3 g of lactose per 100 g, so anyone who is lactose intolerant may experience digestive discomfort and should choose a lactose‑free alternative.
