Why is SKYR vanilla classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives are present?

It is placed in NOVA 3 because, beyond skimmed cow’s milk, the formulation includes added ingredients such as sugar, corn starch, lemon‑juice concentrate, vanilla extract, carrot‑juice concentrate and a decorative coating of vanilla‑pod fragments, all of which involve processing steps beyond simple milking.

How does the sugar content in SKYR vanilla affect a diabetic or low‑sugar diet?

The product contains 10 g of sugar per 100 g, which exceeds the average for dairy desserts and can cause a rapid increase in blood glucose; therefore, people with diabetes or those restricting sugar should consume it in small portions or choose an unsweetened alternative.

Is SKYR vanilla suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

Because it is made from skimmed cow’s milk, the product is not vegan and is not halal unless specifically certified; its lactose and added sugars make it unsuitable for a strict keto diet, but it contains no gluten‑containing ingredients, so it can be considered gluten‑free for most consumers.
