Why is Ultra-Filtered Milk Shake, Chocolate classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is labeled NOVA 4 because it is made from refined dairy ingredients and includes multiple food‑grade additives; these are sucralose, acesulfame‑potassium, potassium phosphate, pectin, lactase enzyme, natural flavor, and sea salt, all of which are typical of highly processed food products.

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

With only 1 g of sugar per 325 ml serving (about 0.3 g per 100 g) the shake contributes minimally to carbohydrate load, but the 0.625 g of salt per serving (0.19 g per 100 g) still adds sodium, so it can be acceptable in moderation for diabetics yet should be considered within daily sodium limits for those with hypertension.

Is the milk component in this shake a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

The product contains ultra‑filtered skim milk, cream and milk proteins, which are allergens for dairy‑sensitive individuals; however, lactase enzyme is added to break down lactose, making the drink lactose‑free but it remains unsuitable for anyone allergic to milk proteins.
