Why is Perle de lait vanille classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because the dessert is made from a blend of skimmed milk, cream, sugar, modified rice starch, cassava, lemon-juice concentrate, natural vanilla flavor, exhausted vanilla pods, a carotenoid colorant and lactic ferments, all of which are combined after multiple industrial steps; the label lists two additives – an unspecified E14xx additive (used as a preservative or stabilizer) and E160 (carotenoid colorant).

How does the sugar content in Perle de lait vanille impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 11.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so diabetics should limit portion size or avoid it, while its low salt (0.1 g/100 g) means it has minimal direct effect on blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Is Perle de lait vanille suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

No - the product contains dairy (skimmed milk, cream, milk powder) so it is not vegan or halal unless certified otherwise; its sugar level makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets, but it contains no wheat or barley ingredients, so it is gluten-free.
