Why is Flan Vanille nappé caramel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it includes refined sugars, flavor extracts, and a thickening agent that are industrially processed; the only listed additive is agar‑agar (E406), used to give the flan its firm texture.

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

With 16.9 g of sugars per 100 g, the flan contributes a significant amount of rapidly absorbable carbohydrates, which can cause blood‑glucose spikes; diabetics should limit portion size or choose lower‑sugar desserts.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the flan’s primary ingredient is pasteurised whole cow’s milk, which is a known allergen; anyone with a milk allergy should avoid this product, as the label clearly flags "milk" as an allergen.
