Why is High Protein Topfencreme classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the formulation includes several industrially processed ingredients such as modified starch, a stabiliser made from carob bean gum, added sweeteners (sucralose and acesulfame K), natural flavourings and other processed thickeners, which go beyond simple dairy and fruit components.

How does the sugar and salt content of this Topfencreme affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With only 3.3 g of sugar and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the product is low in both nutrients, making it generally acceptable for diabetic or hypertensive diets when consumed in moderation, though the presence of artificial sweeteners may be a personal consideration.

Is the egg ingredient in this product a problem for consumers with egg allergy?

Yes, the dessert contains pieces that include whole egg, which is listed as an allergen, so it should be avoided by anyone who is allergic to egg (and it also contains wheat flour, making it unsuitable for a gluten‑free diet).
