Why is Malo strawberry yogurt classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because it undergoes multiple processing steps, pasteurisation, concentration of skimmed milk, fermentation, addition of refined sugar and natural strawberry flavour, placing it in NOVA 4; the ingredient list shows no listed food additives (additives_n = 0), only added sugar and natural flavour as the processing ingredients.

How does the high sugar content of this strawberry yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 14 g of total sugars (8.4 % added) can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight glycaemic control, while the low salt (0.12 g) is harmless for hypertension but the overall calorie and sugar load may contribute to weight gain, which can indirectly raise blood pressure.

Is the milk in this yogurt a concern for people with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy?

The product contains whole milk, skimmed milk concentrate and fermented milk cultures, providing the milk protein that triggers allergic reactions; it also contains lactose, so individuals with a milk allergy should avoid it, and those with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort.
