Why is Tartine et cuisson Oméga3 classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is deemed ultra‑processed because it is made from refined vegetable oils, added fats, emulsifiers, preservatives, flavorings, colourants and a dairy powder, all of which are industrial ingredients; the listed additives are mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471), sunflower lecithin (E322), potassium sorbate (E202), lactic acid (E270) and carotenoid colour (E160).

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

With only 0.5 g of sugars per 100 g, the spread adds minimal carbohydrate load, making it relatively safe for blood‑glucose control, but it contains 0.4 g of salt per 100 g, which is comparable to the average for spreads and may contribute to sodium intake, so people monitoring blood pressure should use it sparingly.

Is the milk powder in this product a concern for people allergic to milk?

Yes, the ingredient list includes partially skimmed milk powder, which triggers the milk allergen; anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid this margarine.
