Why is Thé latté chocolat noisette & chaï classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because the drink is made from a blend of refined sugars, glucose syrup, dairy powders and flavorings that are combined in an industrial process, it is considered ultra‑processed. The label lists three food additives: stabilizer E340 (calcium phosphate), emulsifier E322 (lecithin) and emulsifier E472e (esterified fatty acids).

How does the high sugar content in this latte affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

The product provides roughly 50 g of sugar per 100 g, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes in diabetics and contributes extra calories that may worsen insulin resistance; the modest sodium level (~0.2 g per 100 g) adds a small but notable amount of salt that can affect blood‑pressure control in hypertensive individuals.

Is the presence of whey and milk powders in this product a problem for individuals with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes. The formulation contains whey powder, skimmed‑milk powder and whole‑milk powder, all of which provide milk proteins and lactose, making the beverage unsuitable for anyone allergic to milk or who cannot tolerate lactose.
