Why is Café soluble CAPPUCCINO classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from multiple refined ingredients such as sugar, skimmed milk powder, instant coffee, coconut fat, glucose syrup and includes functional additives like potassium carbonate (E501) and sodium phosphates (E339), which together qualify it as ultra‑processed under the NOVA classification.

How does the sugar and salt content in this cappuccino powder affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 5.1 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can raise blood glucose levels and should be used sparingly by diabetics, while its modest 0.11 g of salt per 100 g is lower than the category average but still contributes to overall sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should monitor portion size.

Is the skimmed milk powder in this product a concern for individuals with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the inclusion of 24 % skimmed milk powder makes the product unsuitable for anyone allergic to milk proteins and may cause issues for those with lactose intolerance, as it contains the milk allergen highlighted in the label.
