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

The crepes are considered ultra‑processed because they are made from refined ingredients, contain added sugars, vegetable oil, butterfat and an emulsifier; the only listed additive is lecithin (E322), which is used to blend the chocolate filling.

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content in Crèpes au chocolat affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Each 100 g serving provides 39 g of sugars, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be limited in diabetic diets, while the 0.65 g of salt contributes to sodium intake but is below the daily maximum, making it less of a concern for hypertension when consumed occasionally.

Is Crèpes au chocolat suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or nut‑free diets?

No, the product contains milk, eggs, butter and wheat flour, so it is not vegan or gluten‑free, and it also includes hazelnut paste, making it unsuitable for nut‑free diets.
