Why is Crème légère épaisse15% Mat. Gr. classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is listed as NOVA 4 because the formulation includes processed ingredients such as modified corn starch, pectin (E440), guar gum, and a sulphite preservative (E14xx), which go beyond simple milk and cream.

How does the high saturated‑fat content in this cream affect heart health or cholesterol levels?

With 9.8 g saturated fat per 100 g, the cream can raise LDL cholesterol when consumed in excess, so individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease should limit its intake.
