Why is Cacao chicorée et céréales classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and which ingredients drive this rating?

The product is made from processed ingredients such as reduced‑fat cocoa powder, soluble chicory, refined sugar and soluble barley, all of which undergo drying, grinding and solubilisation steps that place the final mix in the moderate‑processing NOVA 3 category.

How does the high sugar content of this drink mix affect people with diabetes or those watching their weight?

With 25.9 g of sugars per 100 g, the mix can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, and its high calorie density contributes to excess energy intake, which can hinder weight‑loss or weight‑maintenance goals.

Is Cacao chicorée et céréales suitable for a vegan diet and does it contain common allergens such as gluten?

All ingredients are plant‑based, so the product is vegan, but it includes soluble barley, which contains gluten, meaning it is not safe for people requiring a gluten‑free diet.
