Why is Magnum Mini Deluxe Caramel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product combines many refined components such as rehydrated skimmed milk, multiple syrups, cocoa butter, concentrated butter, and a range of emulsifiers (E471, E476, E442) and stabilisers (carrageenans, guar gum, carob seed flour, Tara gum) plus a caramel colour (carotenoids), which together meet the criteria for an ultra‑processed NOVA 4 food.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content affect people with diabetes or cardiovascular risk?

At 26 g of sugar and 13 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the ice‑cream can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and raise LDL cholesterol, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by individuals managing diabetes or heart disease and best treated as an occasional treat.

Is the milk in this product a problem for consumers with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the formulation lists skimmed milk, whole‑milk powder, skimmed‑milk powder and lactose, so anyone allergic to dairy proteins or sensitive to lactose should avoid it.
