Why is Purée de carottes classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It receives a NOVA 3 rating because the carrots and potatoes are cooked and blended with dairy and a small amount of starch, salt and pepper, processes that go beyond simple preparation but do not involve complex industrial formulations. The ingredient list shows no food‑additives, preservatives or flavour enhancers, so the product contains no additives.

Is the milk in this carrot puree a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes. The puree includes semi‑skimmed milk (10 %) and butter (5 %), both of which are dairy ingredients and will trigger reactions in individuals allergic to milk.

Can this carrot puree be included in vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

The product is not vegan because it contains milk and butter. It is also not suitable for a keto diet due to the high carbohydrate content from carrots and potatoes. However, it contains no wheat, barley, rye or other gluten sources, so it is compatible with a gluten‑free diet.
