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

The yogurt is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines basic dairy bases with multiple industrial ingredients such as added sugar, modified corn starch, natural flavorings and the thickener carrageenan (E407), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 8.9 g of added sugars per 100 g, the product can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed only in limited amounts by people with diabetes; its salt content is low, so it does not add significant sodium for hypertensive individuals, but the high sugar still makes it unsuitable as a regular snack for strict blood‑sugar control.

Is the carrageenan used as a thickener in this product a concern for people with milk allergy or digestive sensitivities?

Carrageenan is a seaweed‑derived thickener approved for food use and does not contain milk, so it does not trigger a milk allergy, but some individuals may experience digestive discomfort from carrageenan, especially when consumed in large quantities.
