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

HiPro falls into the NOVA 4 category because, beyond milk and fruit, it contains industrial ingredients such as modified corn starch, fruit pectin, guar gum, sodium citrate, citric acid, flavorings, and the artificial sweeteners acesulfame‑K and sucralose, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods.

How do the artificial sweeteners acesulfame‑K and sucralose in HiPro affect blood sugar levels for people with diabetes?

Both acesulfame‑K and sucralose are non‑caloric sweeteners that do not raise blood glucose, so they are generally considered safe for people with diabetes, although individual tolerance and personal preference may vary.

Is HiPro suitable for individuals with milk allergies or lactose intolerance?

No. HiPro contains skim milk and skim milk concentrate, which provide dairy proteins and lactose; therefore it is not appropriate for anyone allergic to milk proteins or who is lactose intolerant.

Product Insights

HiPro is a blueberry‑flavoured, low‑fat yogurt produced by Danone and belongs to the milk and dairy products group. It displays a Nutri‑Score A label but is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) due to the inclusion of concentrated skim milk, thickeners, flavorings and artificial sweeteners. While it offers calcium, vitamin D and a low‑sugar, low‑fat profile, the added sweeteners (acesulfame‑K, sucralose) and multiple additives may be a drawback for consumers seeking minimally processed foods.
