Why is Douceur de brebis classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The yogurt is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes several industrial ingredients beyond the basic milk and fruit, such as added sugars, modified starch, potassium sorbate as a preservative, rice starch, and natural strawberry‑raspberry flavorings, all of which place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content in Douceur de brebis affect a diabetic or heart‑healthy diet?

With 11 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, and its 5.3 g of saturated fat may increase LDL cholesterol, so it should be consumed only occasionally by those following heart‑healthy or low‑fat diets.

Is the sheep milk in this yogurt suitable for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Sheep milk contains lactose and the same milk proteins that trigger dairy allergies, so it is not safe for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk‑protein allergies, although some people who react to cow milk may tolerate sheep milk better; nevertheless, caution is advised.
