Why does this cream receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The D rating is driven mainly by its high total fat and especially saturated‑fat content, which contribute many points in the negative side of the Nutri‑Score algorithm; the modest sugar and low salt add only minimal positive points, resulting in a overall score of 13 and grade D.

How might the high saturated‑fat content of this UHT cream affect individuals following heart‑healthy or cholesterol‑lowering diets?

Because the cream provides 12 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, regular consumption can raise LDL cholesterol and may conflict with heart‑healthy or cholesterol‑lowering dietary recommendations that advise limiting saturated fat to less than 10 % of total energy.

Is the stabiliser E407 used in this product a concern for people with food allergies or dietary restrictions?

E407 is locust bean gum, a plant‑derived thickening agent that is considered safe and is not a common allergen; however, the product also contains milk, which is a known allergen for many people.
