Why does Caramel au beurre salé have a Nutri-Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

It receives an E because very high sugar (59 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (13 g per 100 g) generate the maximum negative points, together with high total fat (18 g) and salt (1.2 g), while it provides no fiber or fruit/vegetable content to earn positive points.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this caramel spread affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

The 59 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, and the 1.2 g of salt exceeds typical daily limits, increasing risk for hypertension; consumption should be limited to very small portions.

Is Caramel au beurre salé compatible with vegan, keto, or gluten-free diets?

The product contains fresh cream, butter and milk, so it is not vegan; its high carbohydrate (59 g sugar) content makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets, and although gluten is not listed as an ingredient, trace gluten is reported, so it cannot be considered fully gluten‑free.
