Why is Mo'fraiche végétale classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 includes foods that undergo multiple processing steps and contain several ingredients such as refined oils, nuts and gelling agents; Mo'fraiche végétale uses deodorised coconut oil, mechanically peeled cashews, almond powder and agar‑agar, the latter being the only listed additive (E406) used as a gelling agent.

How does the high saturated‑fat content in Mo'fraiche végétale affect a heart‑healthy diet?

With 17 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the product contributes far more than the recommended limit of less than 10 % of daily energy from saturated fats, which can raise LDL cholesterol and increase cardiovascular risk if consumed regularly.

Is Mo'fraiche végétale suitable for strict vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

The cream is fully vegan, contains no animal‑derived ingredients, and is gluten‑free as no wheat or barley are listed; its very low carbohydrate content (3.8 g per 100 g) makes it compatible with a keto regimen, though the very high saturated‑fat level may be a consideration.
