Why is Yaourt aux fruits rouges classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is rated NOVA 4 because the formulation includes added cane sugar, skimmed milk powder, the gelling agent agar-agar (E406) and cultured bacterial strains, all of which are ingredients that are not present in minimally processed dairy and therefore make the product ultra-processed.

How does the sugar and salt content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 11.3 g of sugars per 100 g, the yogurt adds a significant carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, making it less suitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt level (0.12 g per 100 g) is unlikely to impact hypertension.

Is the milk in this yogurt a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains pasteurised cow’s milk and milk powder, so it is not safe for individuals allergic to milk proteins and it is not lactose-free, which may cause symptoms in lactose-intolerant persons.

Product Insights

It belongs to the Milk and yogurt group, carries a Nutri-Score of C, is classified as NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) and provides 97 kcal, 3.6 g fat (2.3 g saturated), 11.3 g sugars, 3.4 g protein and 0.12 g salt per 100 g.
