Why is Tiramisu café classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation combines multiple processed ingredients such as cream, mascarpone, egg yolk, coffee and chocolate, and includes five food additives: E322 (lecithin), E322i (lecithin variant), E330 (citric acid), E336 (potassium tartrate), E440 (pectin) and E500/E500ii (sodium bicarbonate).

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 18 g of sugar per 100 g, the tiramisu delivers a high glycemic load that can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by people managing diabetes without careful portion control.

Is the wheat flour in the genoise a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the genoise layer contains wheat flour, which provides gluten; therefore the product is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
