Why is BRASSE vanilla classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it incorporates several industrial ingredients such as added sugar, modified tapioca starch, xanthan gum (E415), natural vanilla flavour, exhausted vanilla pod, safflower concentrate and vitamin D, all of which are typical of highly processed foods.

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

With 15 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt delivers a high carbohydrate load that can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt (0.11 g) is not a concern for hypertension.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the yogurt contains milk, cream and milk powder, and the allergen label explicitly lists milk, so it should be avoided by anyone with a dairy allergy.
