Why is Coeur coulant au chocolat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined ingredients such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, wheat flour, butter, eggs and cream, and includes the additives soy lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier and pectin (E440) as a gelling agent, which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content of this chocolate cake affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The high sugar level (30 g per 100 g) can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for controlled‑diabetes diets, while the elevated saturated fat (15 g per 100 g) can increase LDL cholesterol and may aggravate hypertension; however, the low salt (0.08 g) does not add extra sodium burden.

Is the soy lecithin in this product a concern for people with soy allergies?

Yes, soy lecithin (E322) is derived from soybeans and is listed as an allergen, so individuals with soy allergy should avoid this cake.
