Why is Petit Pot de Crème au Café classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product mixes whole milk, cream, fresh eggs, sugar, skimmed‑milk powder, corn starch, natural coffee aroma and caramel colour (E150a); these refined ingredients and the use of added sugars and a food‑grade colour classify it as an ultra‑processed food (NOVA 4).

How does the high sugar content of this coffee cream affect a diabetic or low‑sugar diet?

With 16 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, so people managing diabetes or trying to limit sugar should consume it only occasionally and account for it within their daily carbohydrate allowance.

Is the fresh egg ingredient in this product a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the dessert contains 13 % fresh egg and is labelled with the egg allergen, so anyone allergic to eggs should avoid it.
