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

The product combines refined sugar, palm‑derived vegetable fat, multiple emulsifiers, flavorings and a synthetic color, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods; its label lists soy lecithin (E322), caramel color (E120), citric acid (E330), sorbitol (E420) and the stabilizer pectin (E440) among the additives.

How does the high sugar content of Mleczna Truskawkowa affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 59 g of sugar per 100 g, the confection can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for diabetes management, and its modest 0.15 g salt does not offset the carbohydrate load for hypertension control.

Is the carmine (E120) used in this product a concern for people with allergies or dietary restrictions?

Carmine is derived from cochineal insects, so it is not vegan and can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, requiring caution for those avoiding animal‑derived additives or with specific colorant sensitivities.
