Lait de coco

Lait de coco is a UHT-sterilized, plant-based coconut milk sold in a 200 ml aseptic brick, produced in Sri Lanka and marketed as a vegan dairy alternative. Classified in the Beverages and Plant-based milk substitutes families, it carries a Nutri-Score of E and falls into the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category due to added stabilizers (xanthane gum E415 and guar gum E412), despite being unsweetened, low in sugar and salt, and entirely vegan. Its nutritional profile is dominated by high saturated fat and calories, with modest protein and fiber, making it less suitable for heart-healthy or low-fat diets while still offering a lactose-free coconut flavor.
