Why is Gourdes de yaourt source de calcium et de vitamine D classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation includes added sugars, fruit purees, corn starch, pectin (E440a) as a thickener, natural strawberry and apricot flavourings, and concentrated lemon juice, all of which go beyond basic dairy processing.

How does the sugar and saturated fat content in this product affect a diabetic or cardiovascular diet?

At 10 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is lower than the average sweetened drink but still contributes a notable carbohydrate load that may impact blood glucose; the 1.6 g of saturated fat per 100 g is relatively high for a beverage and can raise LDL cholesterol, so it should be consumed in moderation by people managing diabetes or heart health.

Is the presence of dairy (milk and cream) a concern for lactose‑intolerant individuals?

Yes, the yogurt contains skimmed milk, skimmed milk powder and cream, which provide lactose; despite fermentation, residual lactose remains, making the product unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance.
