Why is Coffee Tiramisu classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines many industrial ingredients such as glucose syrup, refined sugars, reconstituted skimmed milk, multiple emulsifiers (E471, E472b), stabilizers (E420), acidity regulators (E270), raising agents (E450), sodium alginate (E401) and gelatin (E428), which are typical of ultra‑processed foods and place it in the NOVA 4 group.

How does the saturated‑fat and sugar content of this tiramisu affect people with diabetes or high cholesterol?

With 12.2 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the tiramisu can raise LDL cholesterol levels, while its 19 g of sugar may cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes; both factors make it unsuitable for strict diabetic or cholesterol‑lowering diets unless consumed in very small portions.

Is the presence of gelatin in this product a concern for vegetarians or those avoiding animal‑derived ingredients?

Yes, gelatin (E428) is derived from animal collagen, so the tiramisu is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans and anyone seeking to avoid animal‑based additives should choose an alternative dessert.
