Why is Gouter lactier Choco, Vanille, Caramel classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The dessert combines multiple industrial ingredients such as concentrated whole milk, skimmed milk powder, added sugars, modified corn starch, natural flavorings and thickening agents, which places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category; its label lists the additives E415 (xanthan gum) and a generic E14xx additive.

How does the 12 g of sugar per 100 g affect people managing diabetes or blood‑glucose levels?

Twelve grams of sugar per 100 g is a moderate to high amount for a dessert and can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, so individuals with diabetes should count it as part of their daily carbohydrate allowance and consider portion control.

Is the milk used in the caramel and chocolate layers a problem for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains whole milk, skimmed milk powder and milk mineral concentrate, making it unsuitable for anyone with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance.
