Why is Brassé abricots d’Occitanie classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it combines multiple processed ingredients such as added cane sugar, tapioca starch, carob seed flour used as a thickener, concentrated lemon juice, natural apricot flavouring and selected lactic ferments; these components go beyond simple whole foods and make the dessert an ultra‑processed item.

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

With 9.1 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited by people with diabetes, while the 3.6 g of saturated fat may contribute to elevated cholesterol, which is a concern for hypertension and cardiovascular risk, so moderation is advised.

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

Yes, the primary ingredient is pasteurised sheep’s milk, which is listed as a milk allergen; anyone with a dairy allergy should avoid this product.
