Why is Gourmand® Yaourt Litchi & Rose classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is assigned to NOVA 4 because its ingredient list goes beyond simple dairy and fruit; it includes added refined sugar, milk‑derived proteins, corn starch, two natural flavorings, and the thickener carrageenan (E 407), all of which are typical of industrially formulated foods, thus meeting the criteria for ultra‑processed products.

How does the sugar and salt content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 13 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans, while its very low salt (0.08 g) does not pose a risk for hypertension but the high sugar remains the main concern.

Is the lychee in this yogurt a concern for people with fruit allergies?

Lychee is present at 16 % and, although allergic reactions to lychee are relatively uncommon, individuals who are sensitive to tropical fruits should test a small amount first, as the fruit can trigger allergy symptoms in susceptible people.
