Why does Caramel au beurre salé receive a Nutri-Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri-Score E is driven by the product’s very high sugar (74 g), high saturated fat (15 g) and overall energy (497 kcal) per 100 g, combined with the absence of fiber, protein and fruit/vegetable content, which together lower its nutritional quality rating.

How might the high sugar and salt content of this caramel spread affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The large amount of sugar can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for diabetic individuals, while the elevated salt level adds to daily sodium intake and can worsen blood pressure control for those with hypertension; consumption should therefore be limited.

Is the milk‑derived butter in this spread a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies?

Yes, the spread contains butter and cream, both derived from milk, and it is listed as containing the milk allergen, so people with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy should avoid it.
