Why is this strawberry yogurt drink classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because, beyond pasteurised cow's milk and strawberry puree, it includes added sugar, corn starch, natural flavourings, beetroot concentrate, safflower colour and lemon concentrate, all of which are typical ingredients of highly processed foods.

How does the sugar content of this drink affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 11 g of sugar per 100 g, the drink contributes a significant portion of the daily recommended sugar limit, which can raise blood glucose levels in diabetics; however, its low salt (0.12 g) has minimal impact on blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Is the cow's milk in this product a concern for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, cow's milk is the main ingredient and the product also contains milk proteins, so it must be avoided by anyone with a milk allergy; people who are lactose intolerant may experience symptoms, although fermentation reduces lactose slightly.
