Why is Yaourt citron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it combines whole milk with added sugar, skimmed‑milk powder, natural lemon flavoring and live bacterial cultures; these ingredients are industrially formulated and not present in minimally processed dairy, which places the yogurt in the NOVA 4 category despite the absence of synthetic additives.

How does the sugar content in Yaourt citron affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 13.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the yogurt can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people with diabetes should limit portions. The salt level is low (0.13 g), so it poses little direct risk for hypertension, but the high sugar content remains the primary dietary concern.

Is the milk in Yaourt citron a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes. The product contains whole milk, skimmed‑milk powder and milk‑derived fermentation cultures, all of which provide dairy proteins that trigger allergic reactions, and it also contains lactose, making it unsuitable for those with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance.
