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

The product combines multiple industrially treated ingredients such as cultured skim milk, cream, water, fruit concentrates, sweeteners (stevia and monk fruit), and texture agents, which places it in the NOVA 4 category. Its label lists the additives locust bean gum (E410) and fruit pectin (E440), along with natural flavors and stabilisers that are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 12 g of sugars per 100 g, the beverage can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control without portion moderation. Although its salt is negligible, the excess sugar can indirectly raise blood pressure over time, so individuals managing hypertension should limit consumption.

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

The drink contains milk proteins from Greek yogurt and cream, which trigger dairy‑related allergic reactions. It is processed with lactase to break down lactose, so it is safe for most lactose‑intolerant consumers, but it remains unsuitable for anyone with a milk protein allergy.
