Why is Mousse au chocolat noir classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It contains processed cocoa paste, refined sugar, a soy‑based emulsifier (lecithin, E322) and caramel, all of which are industrially derived, placing it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this mousse affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 19 g of sugars per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while the 0.4 g of salt is moderate and may be acceptable for most hypertensive patients but should be accounted for within daily sodium limits.

Is the soy lecithin used as an emulsifier a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes, soy lecithin is derived from soybeans and is listed as an allergen; individuals sensitive to soy should avoid this mousse.
