Why is Dessert lacté aux fruits, aromatisé classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 includes foods formulated mainly from industrial ingredients and additives; this dessert contains added sugars, the thickener pectin (E440), sodium citrate (E331) as an acidity regulator, and cochineal (E120) for colour, all of which contribute to its ultra‑processed status.

How does the sugar content of this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 11.7 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert raises blood glucose more than typical fruit yogurts and should be consumed only in small portions or avoided by people managing diabetes.

Is the cochineal colourant (E120) used in this product a concern for vegans or people with specific allergies?

Cochineal is derived from crushed insects, so it is not suitable for vegan diets and can trigger reactions in individuals allergic to insects or shellfish; consumers with these sensitivities should avoid the product.
