Why is Glaces Amande classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the formulation includes many industrially processed ingredients such as rehydrated skimmed milk, glucose-fructose syrup, added sugars, cocoa butter, coconut oil and a range of food additives; the declared additives are emulsifiers E471 and E322, stabilizers E412, E417 and E407, and colourant E160.

How does the high sugar content in Glaces Amande affect a diabetic diet, and what impact does its low salt have on a hypertensive diet?

The 28 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making the product unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while the very low salt (0.14 g) does not pose a problem for hypertension, although the high sugar still contributes to cardiovascular risk.

Is the almond coating in Glaces Amande a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes; the product contains almonds and lists nuts as a trace allergen, so anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should avoid it.

Product Insights

Glaces Amande are vanilla ice-cream bars coated with milk chocolate and crunchy almond pieces, sold in 300 g boxes by Magnum across Belgium, France and Germany. They fall under the PNNS categories 'Milk and dairy products' and 'Ice cream', carry a Nutri-Score of E and are classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) because they contain rehydrated skimmed milk, added sugars, glucose-fructose syrup, several emulsifiers (E471, E322), stabilizers (E412, E417, E407) and a carotenoid colourant (E160). Nutritionally, the bar is high in sugars (28 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (13 g per 100 g) while providing very low salt (0.14 g), and although it is gluten-free and bears the Rainforest Alliance label, its high sugar and saturated-fat content limit its health benefits.
