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

NOVA 4 products contain industrial formulations with multiple additives, emulsifiers, or processing aids; this dessert includes carrageenan (E407) for thickening, pectin (E440) as a stabiliser, plus flavorings and a modified starch blend, which places it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Crème dessert caramel affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 16.1 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the 0.2 g of salt is modest but still contributes to daily sodium intake; both groups should consume it only occasionally and balance it with lower‑sugar, lower‑salt foods.

Is the milk ingredient in Crème dessert caramel a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes, the product contains milk, lactose and dairy proteins, so it is not safe for individuals with lactose intolerance or any milk‑based allergy and should be avoided by those groups.
