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

The product includes refined sugar, emulsified cocoa paste, soy lecithin and a natural vanilla flavouring; these refined ingredients and the presence of an emulsifier push it into the highest NOVA category for ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 20.9 g of sugars and 0.36 g of salt per 100 g, the mousse can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and increase sodium intake, which may worsen blood‑pressure control; consumption should be limited or avoided by people managing diabetes or hypertension.

Is the soy lecithin in this mousse a concern for soy‑allergic consumers?

Yes, the emulsifier listed as soy lecithin originates from soybeans, so individuals with soy allergy should treat the product as containing a soy allergen and avoid it.
