Why is Skyr sur lit aux fruits rouges classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 rating because it includes multiple formulated ingredients beyond the basic dairy base, such as added sugar, fruit concentrates, corn starch, and two food‑grade thickeners. The only declared additives are E407 (carrageenan) and E412 (guar gum), both used to improve texture and stability.

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

With 11.7 g of total sugars and 8.3 g of added sugars per 100 g, the Skyr can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose. People managing diabetes should treat it as a moderate‑sugar snack and consider portion size or pair it with protein‑rich foods to blunt glycaemic impact.

Is the milk in this product a concern for lactose‑intolerant individuals?

Yes. Although the yogurt is made from skimmed milk, it still contains lactose (approximately 1.7 g per 100 g). Lactose‑intolerant consumers may experience digestive discomfort and should choose a lactose‑free alternative.
