Why is Ice Cream with Melon Flavor classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it includes many refined ingredients and industrial additives such as refined sugars, glucose syrup, dextrose, emulsifier E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides), stabilizers E410 (locust bean gum) and E412 (guar gum), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), acidity regulator E330 (citric acid), and colourants like E160a (carotene) plus natural colour concentrates from black carrot and beet.

How do the high sugar and saturated‑fat levels in this ice cream affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 23 g of sugar per 100 g, the ice cream can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while the 7.2 g of saturated fat may raise LDL cholesterol; however, its salt content is low (0.1 g), so it has limited impact on blood pressure but should still be consumed in moderation.

Is the skimmed milk in this ice cream a problem for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, the product contains skimmed milk, so it provides milk proteins and a small amount of lactose; it is listed as containing the milk allergen, which can trigger reactions in milk‑allergic individuals and may cause digestive discomfort for those with lactose intolerance.
