Why does Flan pâtissier receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D reflects the product’s high levels of sugar (20 g) and saturated fat (5.5 g) combined with a modest protein content (4.7 g) and low fiber, which together lower the overall score despite its low salt.

How does the sugar and salt content of Flan pâtissier affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 20 g of sugar per 100 g, the flan can cause a noticeable rise in blood glucose, so diabetic individuals should limit portions; the very low salt (0.14 g) makes it less of a concern for hypertension, but overall it should still be consumed as an occasional treat.

Is Flan pâtissier suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No, the traditional recipe contains eggs, dairy milk and a wheat‑based pastry crust, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free and exceeds the carbohydrate limits of a keto diet.
