Why is LANVIN l'Escargot Duo Lait Noir classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on refined ingredients such as added sugars, milk powders, butterfat, emulsified lecithins and flavorings, all of which are industrially processed; the only listed additive is E322 (soy lecithin) used as an emulsifier.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 48.1 g of sugars and 12.9 g of saturated fat per 100 g, regular consumption can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, which may aggravate diabetes control and increase blood‑pressure risk, so it should be limited or avoided by those conditions.

Is the milk powder in this chocolate a concern for lactose‑intolerant or milk‑allergic consumers?

Yes, the product contains whole‑milk powder and skimmed‑milk powder, providing both lactose and milk proteins, so it is unsuitable for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy, and it is also labeled with milk as an allergen.
