Why is Queso fresco batido melocotón y maracuyá classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 4 because it combines a natural dairy base with multiple industrial ingredients such as the artificial sweeteners acesulfame K (E950) and sucralose (E955), a natural flavouring, a thickener (carob seed flour) and added starch, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar content in this dessert affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 3 g of sugars per 100 g, the dessert contains more sugar than the average dairy dessert, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes in diabetics and contribute to caloric excess; however, its low sodium (0.13 g) makes it less of a concern for hypertension, though the overall carbohydrate load should still be considered in a controlled diet.

Is the milk protein in this product a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Yes; the ingredient list includes milk proteins derived from skimmed milk, which are listed as a declared milk allergen, so anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid this product despite its low‑fat content.
