Why is Eis Bourbon Vanille classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The ice cream is labeled NOVA 4 because its formulation relies on refined sugars, vegetable‑based syrups, and a suite of technologic additives that transform basic dairy ingredients into a ready‑to‑eat product; the listed additives are carotene (E160a) for colour, guar gum (E412) and locust bean gum (E417) as stabilisers, and mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) as an emulsifier.

How does the high sugar and saturated‑fat content of this ice cream affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 19 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is problematic for diabetes management, while the 6.7 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol levels, potentially aggravating hypertension and cardiovascular risk; the low salt (0.11 g) does not offset these concerns.

Is Eis Bourbon Vanille suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No. The ice cream contains skimmed milk and whey, making it non‑vegan; its high carbohydrate (27 g) and sugar (19 g) levels exceed keto limits; and although wheat is only listed as a possible contaminant, the product may contain gluten, so it cannot be considered gluten‑free.
