Why is Fromage frais aux fruits x 12 classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it undergoes multiple industrial steps, uses refined ingredients and incorporates added sugar, corn starch, natural fruit flavourings, concentrated lemon juice and lactic ferments; although no formal food additives are listed, these components are typical of ultra-processed foods.

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

With 9.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the cheese can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes, while its very low salt (0.1 g/100 g) makes it a relatively safe option for those managing hypertension.

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

Yes, the cheese contains pasteurized skimmed milk and cream, which provide lactose and milk proteins; therefore it is unsuitable for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
