Why is Pro+ Stracciatella Drinkable Yogurt classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product includes several industrial ingredients such as modified starch, pectin as a thickener, citric acid and calcium citrate as acidity regulators, potassium sorbate as a preservative, the artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame‑K, lactase enzyme, a microbial coagulating enzyme and natural vanilla flavor, which together place it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 3.1 g of sugar per 100 ml, the beverage has lower sugar than most dairy drinks and contains virtually no salt (0.1 g), making it modest for blood‑pressure management; the artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame‑K provide sweetness without raising blood glucose, but some consumers prefer to avoid these additives.

Is the phenylalanine source in Pro+ Stracciatella Drinkable Yogurt a concern for people with phenylketonuria (PKU)?

Yes. The label indicates a source of phenylalanine, which comes from the added aspartame, so individuals with PKU should avoid this product or consult a healthcare professional before consumption.
