Why is Perle de lait citron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product combines multiple refined ingredients such as skimmed‑milk powder, modified corn starch, lemon‑juice concentrate and natural flavourings, all of which undergo industrial processing; it also includes the additive E14xx, a common stabiliser/emulsifier, which together push it into the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 10.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt can raise blood glucose and should be consumed in limited portions by people with diabetes, while its low salt level (0.1 g) is unlikely to aggravate hypertension but does not offset the impact of the high sugar.

Is Perle de lait citron suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains dairy (skimmed milk, cream) and lactose, so it is not vegan or keto‑friendly, but it does not list any gluten‑containing ingredients, making it acceptable for a gluten‑free diet.
