Why is MONT BLANC Crème dessert Boîte Caramel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The dessert is labeled NOVA 4 because it contains refined sugars, glucose syrup, multiple starches and several food‑grade additives that transform its natural ingredients into a highly industrial product. Its additive list includes sodium alginate (E401) as a thickener, guar gum (E412) for texture, and sodium hydroxide (E524) as an acidity regulator, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed formulations.

How does the sugar and salt content of this caramel dessert affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 13 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert can cause significant blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control. Its low salt level (0.14 g) is not a concern for hypertension, but the high sugar alone warrants limited consumption for those managing blood‑sugar or weight.

Is the milk used in this caramel cream a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product lists milk as its main ingredient (78 % of the formula) and is declared to contain the milk allergen, so it should be avoided by anyone with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance.
