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

The product combines many industrial ingredients, modified maize and corn starches, concentrated lemon juice, flavorings, sweeteners, colorants and thickening agents, each undergoing significant processing, which places it in the NOVA 4 category. Its label lists additives E955 (sucralose), E950 (acesulfame‑K), E100 (curcumin), E401 (sodium alginate) and E440 (pectin).

How do the sugar and salt levels in LEMON‑CHEESECAKE affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.8 g of sugar and 0.2 g of salt per 100 g, the dessert contains less sugar and salt than many comparable desserts, but the added sweeteners still contribute carbohydrates that diabetics should account for, while hypertensive individuals will find the salt content low; overall calorie intake should still be monitored.

Is LEMON‑CHEESECAKE safe for people who need to avoid gluten?

No; the product includes biscuits made with wheat flour and wheat starch, and gluten is listed among the allergen warnings, so it is not suitable for a gluten‑free diet.
