Why is Vrac Sorbet Fraise Bio classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

The sorbet includes refined sugars, fruit puree, and a processed thickener, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; the only listed additive is guar gum (E412), used as a stabiliser.

How does the high sugar content of this sorbet affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 28 g of sugar per 100 g, the sorbet can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is not suitable for people managing diabetes; the lack of salt is fine for hypertension, but the sugar load outweighs any benefit.

Is this sorbet suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict diets?

The product is not reliably vegan because it may contain dairy traces, and it lists possible traces of gluten, nuts, milk, eggs, sesame and soy, making it unsuitable for strict gluten‑free, nut‑free, dairy‑free, or egg‑free diets.
