Why is Sirop Zéro Menthe classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is a formulated syrup that includes multiple industrial ingredients such as the bulking agent polydextrose, xanthan gum (thickener), caramel color (E150a), synthetic color E131, sweeteners sucralose (E955), aspartame (E951) and acesulfame‑K (E950), citric acid (E330) as an acidifier, and the preservative sodium benzoate (E202). The presence of these processed components places it in NOVA group 4.

Is the phenylalanine source in this syrup a concern for people with phenylketonuria (PKU)?

Yes. The syrup contains aspartame, which breaks down into phenylalanine; therefore, individuals with PKU or other phenylalanine‑restricted conditions should avoid it or consult a healthcare professional before consumption.

Is Sirop Zéro Menthe suitable for vegan and keto diets?

The product contains only plant‑derived ingredients and artificial sweeteners, making it compatible with a vegan diet. Its zero‑sugar, zero‑carbohydrate profile also fits the carbohydrate limits of a ketogenic diet, although the presence of artificial additives may be a personal preference factor.
