Why is BOOSTED SMOOTHIE GREEN MACHINE classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink combines multiple processed ingredients such as fruit juices, purees, spirulina powder and natural flavors, all of which undergo industrial processing steps that qualify it as ultra‑processed. Although the label reports zero added additives, the presence of natural flavors and the extensive processing of the fruit bases contribute to its NOVA 4 status.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 49 g of sugars per 100 g, the smoothie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and is therefore unsuitable for people managing diabetes. The modest salt level (0.1 g per 100 g) is below the average, but the high sugar load outweighs any benefit for a hypertensive diet, which generally requires low‑sugar foods.

Is the gluten listed as an allergen in this product a concern for people with celiac disease?

Yes. The product is flagged for gluten, meaning it may contain trace gluten residues that could trigger symptoms in individuals with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity, so they should avoid it.
