Why is Specialite au soja nature classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because its formulation includes processed ingredients such as modified tapioca starch, calcium phosphate (E341) used as a stabiliser, and a ferment culture; these industrial‑level additives, together with the use of refined soy juice, place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this soy yogurt affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 0 g of added sugars and only 0.05 g of salt per 100 g, the product adds virtually no glucose load and a minimal amount of sodium, making it an acceptable choice for diabetics and those monitoring blood pressure when consumed in moderation.

Is the soy ingredient in this product a concern for individuals with soy allergy?

Yes; the primary ingredient is soy juice made from soybeans, and the label lists soybeans as an allergen, so anyone allergic to soy should avoid this yogurt.
