Why is Bonbons menthe sans sucres aux extraits de stevia classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the candy is made mainly from industrial sweeteners and includes several food‑grade additives; the label lists maltitol syrup, isomalt, stevia glycosides and the additives E965ii (maltitol syrup), E953 (isomalt) and E960 (stevia extract).

How does the sugar‑alcohol content in this product affect a diabetic or low‑carb diet?

The candy uses polyol sweeteners (maltitol and isomalt) which provide minimal glucose impact, so it has a very low sugar value, making it suitable for many diabetic or low‑carb plans, but excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to the high polyol load.

Is this mint candy suitable for vegans or people with milk allergies?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived and the product is labeled as maybe vegan and maybe vegetarian, and although the label notes possible milk traces, the formulation itself does not contain milk ingredients, so it is generally acceptable for vegans and safe for most milk‑allergic consumers, but the trace warning should be considered.
