Why is Lait de coco cuisine classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because its ingredients are industrially processed and include a stabiliser system; the only listed additive is E412 (guar gum), which is used to improve texture and prevent separation.

How does the high saturated‑fat content in this coconut cooking milk affect a heart‑healthy diet?

With 16 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, the milk contributes a large portion of the daily limit for saturated fats, which can raise LDL cholesterol and may increase cardiovascular risk if consumed frequently in a heart‑healthy eating plan.

Is this coconut cooking milk suitable for a vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diet?

Yes, the product is vegan, contains virtually no carbohydrates (1.7 g per 100 ml) making it keto‑compatible, and lists no gluten‑containing ingredients, so it is suitable for gluten‑free diets as well.
