Why is Skyr Gourmand Lit au Caramel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines skimmed milk with water, added sugar, caramel (including butter, salt and concentrated milk), corn starch, caramel colour (E150), lemon‑juice concentrate, natural flavouring and lactic ferments, all of which are added during manufacturing and push it into the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in Skyr Gourmand Lit au Caramel impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 9.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the skyr can cause a noticeable rise in blood glucose and is not ideal for strict diabetic control, while its low salt (0.14 g/100 g) has little effect on hypertension, so it should be consumed sparingly by those managing blood sugar.

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

Yes, the product contains skimmed milk, concentrated milk and about 3.3 g of lactose per 100 g, making it unsuitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant or need a lactose‑free alternative.
