How does the high sugar content in this syrup affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With about 80 g of sugar per 100 ml, the syrup can cause rapid spikes in blood glucose, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, and the excess calories may contribute to weight gain, which can exacerbate hypertension, even though its salt level is low.

Is the lutein (E161b) used as a colourant in this syrup a concern for people with allergies or sensitivities?

Lutein is a plant‑derived carotenoid approved as a food colour and is generally considered safe; it is not a common allergen, but individuals with rare plant‑based sensitivities should review ingredient lists and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
