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

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes added sugar, a gelling agent (carrageenan), flavorings and a food‑grade colourant (E160), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar content in this vanilla flan affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 14.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the flan can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is unsuitable for people managing diabetes; the low salt (0.1 g) is not a major concern for hypertension, but the high sugar still makes it a less favorable choice for those diets.

Is the milk in this flan a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

The flan contains partially skimmed milk as its main ingredient, so it provides lactose and milk proteins; individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy should avoid it.
