Why does Organic whole British milk receive a Nutri‑Score of C?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns points for negative factors such as energy (276 kJ per 100 ml) and sugars (4.7 g), and positive points for protein (3.5 g). The moderate amounts of fat (3.7 g) and saturated fat (2.4 g) lower the positive balance, resulting in a final score that places the product in the C grade.

How does the sugar and salt content in this milk affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.7 g of sugars and only 0.11 g of salt per 100 ml, the milk adds modest carbohydrate load and minimal sodium, making it acceptable in controlled amounts for people managing blood glucose or blood pressure, but it should still be counted within daily limits.

Is this milk suitable for strict diets such as vegan, keto, or gluten‑free?

The product is made from 100 % organic whole milk, so it is not vegan, contains natural lactose which adds carbs, and therefore is not keto‑compatible, but it is naturally gluten‑free.
