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

The product combines many industrial ingredients such as refined sugars, cocoa butter, coconut oil and several food‑grade additives; its label lists emulsifier E471, lecithins (E322), stabilisers E412, E417, E407 and a colourant E160, which together with the multiple processing steps place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and saturated‑fat content in this ice cream affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 20 g of sugars per 100 g, the ice cream can raise blood glucose levels quickly, which is a concern for diabetics, while the 9.8 g of saturated fat may increase LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, making it less suitable for hypertensive individuals unless consumed in moderation.

Is the milk used in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, the ingredient list includes skimmed milk, whole milk powder, lactose and milk proteins, all of which can trigger reactions in people with milk allergy and cause digestive discomfort for those who are lactose intolerant.
