Why does British fresh skimmed milk have a Nutri-Score of B and not A, and which nutrients influence this rating?

The product scores B because, despite its low fat and salt, the 5 g of sugars per 100 ml and an energy value of 37 kcal raise the negative points enough to keep it from achieving the top A grade.

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

The moderate sugar level (5 g per 100 ml) can modestly raise blood glucose, so diabetics should count it within their daily carbs, while the low salt (0.23 g per 100 ml) makes it suitable for most hypertension diets.

Is the milk protein in British fresh skimmed milk a concern for individuals with a milk allergy?

Yes, the product consists entirely of pasteurised cow's milk, so it contains the proteins that trigger allergic reactions in people with a milk allergy.
