Why is Crème Dessert Café classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 includes foods that have undergone multiple industrial processes and contain added ingredients such as sweeteners, stabilisers or emulsifiers. Crème Dessert Café is made from whole milk, sugar, cream, coffee and other components that are combined, heated and thickened, and it includes the additives carrageenan (E 407) and xanthan gum (E 415) to improve texture, which places it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content of Crème Dessert Café affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 15.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is unsuitable for people managing diabetes unless consumed in very small portions. Its salt content of 0.26 g per 100 g is lower than the average for dairy desserts, but it still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited for those with hypertension.

Is the whole milk in Crème Dessert Café a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

The product lists whole milk as its main ingredient (about 80 % of the formulation) and contains approximately 4.28 g of lactose per 100 g, so it is not suitable for individuals with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance, who should avoid it entirely.
