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

The drink is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines several industrial steps such as fermentation, concentration of pineapple juice, addition of sweeteners (fructose and sugar) and a stabilizer; the only listed additive is carob seed flour, used as a natural thickener.

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

With 13.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product adds a significant carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, while its 0.1 g of salt is relatively low and unlikely to impact blood pressure, but the overall high sugar makes it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans.

Is the presence of milk and carob seed flour a concern for people with common allergies?

Yes; the lassi contains milk, which is a major allergen for many consumers, and carob seed flour, which can trigger reactions in individuals sensitive to legume‑derived ingredients, so those with dairy or carob allergies should avoid it.
