Why is Sweetened Flavored Drinkable Yogurt classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes processed ingredients such as added sugar, a natural flavouring, a milk mineral concentrate and lactic ferments, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods. According to the ingredient list, no artificial additives are declared, but the presence of these processed components places it in the highest processing category.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic diet?

With 10.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt provides a relatively high amount of quickly absorbable carbohydrates, which can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes. People managing diabetes should count this sugar toward their daily allowance and may need to limit portion sizes or choose a lower‑sugar alternative.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes. The yogurt’s primary ingredient is skimmed milk powder and additional milk, both of which contain lactose. The product is also listed with a milk allergen label, so individuals who are lactose‑intolerant or have a milk allergy should avoid it or select a lactose‑free option.
