Why is Mr Flan Nappé Chocolat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from a base of milk, cream and sugar that is further combined with chocolate sauce, modified starches, thickening agents and flavorings, all of which require multiple processing steps; it includes additives such as soy lecithin (E322/E322i), carrageenan (E407), guar gum (E412) and other flavoring agents (E14xx), as well as added glucose‑fructose syrup and modified corn and potato starches, meeting the criteria for an ultra‑processed NOVA 4 food.

How does the high sugar content in Mr Flan Nappé Chocolat affect a diabetic or blood‑glucose‑controlled diet?

At 18.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the flan provides a substantial amount of rapidly absorbable carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose levels quickly; people managing diabetes or trying to limit sugar intake should treat it as an occasional indulgence and account for its sugar contribution within their total daily carbohydrate budget.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy?

Yes, the formulation contains 60 % skimmed milk, additional cream and added lactose in the chocolate sauce, making it unsuitable for anyone who is lactose intolerant, and milk is listed as a major allergen, so it should be avoided by individuals with a milk allergy.
