Why is Capsules Café au lait classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and which additives does it contain?

The capsule combines several ingredients, whole and skimmed milk powders, instant coffee, sugar and stabilisers, making it a multi‑ingredient processed food, which places it in NOVA group 3. It includes two food‑grade additives: sodium citrate (E331) and potassium phosphates (E340) used as stabilisers.

How does the sugar and salt content in Capsules Café au lait affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.1 g of sugars and 0.05 g of salt per 100 g, the product is relatively low in both compared to typical sweetened beverages, so it can fit into a diabetic or blood‑pressure‑friendly diet when consumed in moderation, but total daily intake should still be monitored.

Is the milk powder in Capsules Café au lait a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes. The capsules contain 64.5 % whole milk powder and 10 % skimmed milk powder, delivering about 29.5 g of lactose per 100 g, making them unsuitable for anyone with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance, and they also list soy as a potential allergen.
