Why is Milk dessert classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is made from refined sugar, glucose syrup, multiple vegetable fats, milk powders and flavourings that undergo extensive industrial processing, placing it in NOVA 4. The label lists additives such as colourant E150d (caramel colour), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), emulsifier E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids), glycerol (E422), soy lecithin (E322), citric acid (E330) and various flavourings.

How do the sugar and saturated‑fat levels in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 56 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for regular diabetic consumption. Its 15 g of saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, and although salt is only 0.22 g, the high energy density can worsen weight‑related blood‑pressure issues, so it should be eaten only occasionally by people managing diabetes or hypertension.

Is Milk dessert suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

No; the formulation contains whole‑milk powder, skimmed‑milk powder, mascarpone and egg‑derived ingredients, which disqualify it from vegan and halal (due to possible non‑halal dairy processing). It also includes wheat‑derived gluten and soy, so it is not gluten‑free, and the high carbohydrate content (56 g sugar, 63 g carbs) makes it incompatible with strict keto diets.
