Why is Ma crème aux oeufs classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The custard undergoes multiple industrial steps, includes added sugars, flavoring, a colourant (carotenoids) and modified starches, which together meet the criteria for ultra‑processed foods; its additives are listed as E14xx (preservative) and E160 (carotenoid colour).

How does the high sugar content of this custard affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 18 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic meal plans, while its low salt (0.13 g) is less of a concern for hypertension but the overall high calorie and sugar load may still impact cardiovascular health.

Is this custard suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No, it contains dairy (skimmed milk, cream) and eggs, so it is not vegan; the high carbohydrate and sugar levels exceed keto limits; although no gluten ingredients are listed, a trace of gluten is reported, so it is not reliably gluten‑free for sensitive consumers.
