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

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it combines many refined ingredients such as reconstituted skimmed milk, glucose syrup, coconut oil and multiple processing steps, and it includes seven food‑grade additives: E270 (lactic acid), E401 (sodium alginate), E407 (carrageenan), E415 (xanthan gum), E450 (diphosphates), E472b (lactyl esters of mono‑ and diglycerides) and E500 (sodium carbonates).

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

With 21.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetics, while the 11.3 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, a concern for those managing hypertension; however, its low salt (0.1 g) does not add extra sodium load.

Is Le Tiramisu Cappuccino suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No. The product contains dairy milk, mascarpone, and egg proteins, making it unsuitable for vegans; it also includes wheat flour and 21.4 g of sugar, which provide too many carbs for a keto regimen; finally, wheat flour introduces gluten, so it cannot be considered gluten‑free.
