Why is CARTE D'OR Glace Crème Glacée Bio Pistache classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from re‑hydrated skimmed milk, cream, concentrated skimmed milk, sugar, pistachio paste, egg yolk, carrot juice concentrate, spirulina concentrate, apple juice concentrate and a natural flavouring that includes sesame; it also uses a stabiliser made from carob seed flour. These multiple processed ingredients and the inclusion of a stabiliser place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in this pistachio ice cream affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 14 g of sugars per 100 g, the ice cream provides a high amount of quickly absorbable carbohydrates, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be limited by people with diabetes; the salt level is low (0.07 g/100 g), so it adds little to hypertension risk, but overall the product should be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet.

Is the pistachio paste in this ice cream a concern for people with tree‑nut allergies?

Yes, pistachio is a tree nut and is listed as an ingredient; the label also warns that the product may contain traces of other nuts, so individuals with tree‑nut allergies should avoid it.
