Why is Rhum Raisins classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The ice cream includes many industrial ingredients such as added sugar, glucose syrup, emulsifiers, stabilizers, a caramel colour, and a gelatinous rum component, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; the listed additives are E150a (caramel colour), E415 (xanthane gum) and E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids).

How does the sugar content in this ice cream affect a diabetic or weight‑management diet?

With 23 g of sugar per 100 g, the product delivers a high amount of rapidly absorbable carbohydrates, which can cause blood‑glucose spikes and add significant calories, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic or low‑calorie weight‑management plans unless consumed in very small portions.

Is the milk in Rhum Raisins a problem for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes, the formulation contains skimmed milk, whey‑protein concentrate and fresh cream, providing a substantial dairy load; therefore it is not safe for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy‑protein allergies, and it may also contain trace nuts.
