Why is Crème dessert chocolat au lait entier classified as NOVA 3, and what processing steps lead to this rating?

NOVA 3 indicates a product made from ingredients that have undergone industrial processing but contain few additives; the custard is produced by pasteurising whole milk, adding refined sugar, cocoa powder, starches and cream, then heating, mixing and sealing in a metal‑lid container, which places it in the moderately processed category.

How does the high sugar content (14.2 g per 100 g) impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Fourteen point two grams of sugar represent about 28 % of the WHO’s recommended daily limit; for diabetics it can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, and while the salt is low, the extra calories from sugar may indirectly affect blood pressure if the product is consumed frequently.

Is the whole cow’s milk in this dessert a problem for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, whole cow’s milk is a primary ingredient and milk is listed as an allergen, so the product should be avoided by anyone with lactose intolerance or a confirmed milk allergy.
