Why is LOTUS TARTELICE Pomme classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined wheat flour, added sugars, multiple vegetable oils and a long list of additives, including palm oil, colza oil, glycerol (E422), xanthan gum (E415), pectin (E440), acidity regulators (E296, E330, E331, E332), leavening agents (E450i, E500ii), lecithins (E322), sorbate potassium (E202) and calcium chloride (E509).

How does the high sugar and moderate salt content affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 32 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while the 0.55 g of salt is modest and unlikely to worsen hypertension, though the overall high sugar and saturated fat still increase cardiovascular risk.

Are the eggs, wheat gluten, and soybeans in this product a concern for common food allergies?

Yes, the product lists eggs, wheat (gluten) and soybeans, which are among the top allergens; individuals sensitive to any of these should avoid it.
