Why is Color your day Jaune eclat classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Although the question references a NOVA 4 classification, the item is recorded as NOVA 3, indicating it is processed but not ultra-processed; the classification stems from the multiple cooking, seasoning and sauce-making steps, and the ingredient list reports zero additives (additives_n = 0).

Is the almond in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes, the product lists sliced almonds (AMANDE) as an ingredient and nuts appear in the allergen list, so it can trigger reactions in individuals with tree-nut allergies.

Is this product suitable for a gluten-free or vegan diet?

No, it contains wheat flour (gluten) and semi-skimmed milk, and also includes almonds, so it does not meet gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan criteria.
