Why is Gâteau de riz sur lit de caramel classified as NOVA 3 and what aspects of its formulation lead to this rating?

The product is rated NOVA 3 because it is a processed food that contains added sugars, caramelised sugar, refined rice, dairy ingredients and a vanilla infusion, all of which require industrial processing steps, even though it does not contain any preservative or additive additives.

How does the high sugar content of this dessert affect people with diabetes or those monitoring blood glucose levels?

With 14 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert can cause a rapid increase in blood glucose, so people with diabetes or those on low‑sugar diets should limit consumption and consider it an occasional treat.

Is the presence of eggs in this rice cake a concern for individuals with egg allergies or for vegan consumers?

Yes, the product lists eggs as an ingredient, making it unsuitable for anyone allergic to eggs and for vegans, while milk is also present, further restricting suitability for those with dairy restrictions.
