Why is Skyr with lemon classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because it goes beyond a simple fermented dairy base, containing added sugars, fruit-juice concentrates, flavorings and food-grade hydrocolloid additives such as carrageenan (E 407) and guar gum (E 412).

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

Each 100 g serving supplies 11.1 g of sugars, which can raise blood glucose and should be counted toward carbohydrate limits for people with diabetes; the low salt (0.13 g) and high protein make it more suitable for hypertension, but the sugar level means it should be eaten in moderation.

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

Milk is listed as an allergen, so anyone with a confirmed milk allergy should avoid this product; lactose-intolerant individuals may also experience symptoms because the yogurt still contains lactose, although fermentation can reduce it somewhat.
