Why is Mat&lou classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines several industrial ingredients such as modified corn starch, skimmed milk powder and a thickening agent, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; its additive list includes the sweetener/sugar code E14xx and xanthan gum (E415) for texture.

How does the sugar and salt content of Mat&lou affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 13 g of sugar and 0.09 g of salt per 100 g, the dessert contributes a significant amount of simple carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose levels, and although its salt is low, it should still be consumed in moderation by people managing hypertension.

Based on its ingredients, is Mat&lou suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Mat&lou contains whole milk, skimmed milk powder and other dairy derivatives, so it is not vegan; its carbohydrate content (13 g sugar and 16 g carbs per 100 g) makes it unsuitable for strict keto, while it does not list gluten‑containing grains, it is considered gluten‑free but should be checked for cross‑contamination.
