Because the product includes added cane sugar, natural flavourings, lemon‑juice concentrate, a carob‑seed flour thickener and fermented lactic cultures, all of which are ingredients that define an ultra‑processed food under the NOVA system.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content of this product affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 11 g of sugars and 3.9 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the dessert can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose and contribute to elevated LDL cholesterol; individuals managing diabetes or hypertension should consume it only occasionally and monitor portion size.

Is the milk in this product a problem for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

The cheese is made from pasteurised skimmed milk and cream, so it contains dairy proteins and lactose; it is not suitable for anyone allergic to milk or who must avoid lactose.
