Why is Vanilla‑Caramel‑Brownie classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It contains multiple industrial ingredients such as skimmed milk concentrate, sweetened condensed milk, glucose syrup, vegetable oils (coconut and rapeseed), pectin as a gelling agent, sodium bicarbonate as a leavening agent, natural vanilla flavor, and other stabilizers; the presence of these refined components together with added sugars places it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content of this ice‑cream affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 24.8 g of sugar and 10.1 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and increase LDL cholesterol, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, who should limit portion size or choose lower‑sugar alternatives.

Is the wheat flour in this product a concern for consumers with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the formulation includes wheat flour, which contains gluten, so the ice‑cream is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity.
