Why is Tiramisu au mascarpone classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It combines several industrially processed components such as glucose syrup, refined wheat genoise, mascarpone, and a coffee‑alcoholic sauce, and it includes six declared additives: ethyl alcohol (E1510), lactic acid (E270), carrageenan (E407), diphosphates (E450), mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) and sodium carbonates (E500).

How does the sugar content of this tiramisu affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 19 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt (0.16 g) is not a concern for hypertension, but the overall high sugar and calorie load still require moderation.

Is this tiramisu suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

No. It contains eggs, milk, and wheat flour, which excludes vegan and gluten‑free diets; the presence of Marsala wine and ethyl alcohol makes it non‑halal for many consumers; and its high carbohydrate and sugar levels render it incompatible with keto guidelines.
