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

The product combines refined sugar, wheat flour, vegetable oil and multiple industrial ingredients such as stabilisers, emulsifiers and leavening agents, which places it in NOVA group 4. Its additive list includes E322 (lecithins), E415 (xanthan gum), E422 (glycerol), E450 (diphosphates), E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides) and E500 (sodium carbonates).

How does the high sugar content in Tendre moo affect a diabetic diet?

At 30 g of sugars per 100 g, the snack delivers a rapid rise in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes or anyone needing to limit simple carbohydrate intake.

Is the milk ingredient in Tendre moo a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Yes. The recipe includes whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder and whey powder, which contain lactose and dairy proteins; therefore it should be avoided by individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, as well as by those sensitive to egg, gluten or soy.
