Why is Lait demi‑écrémé sans lactose classified as NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

The milk undergoes UHT heat treatment and enzymatic lactose hydrolysis with added lactase and calcium salt, but no food additives such as preservatives or sweeteners are listed (additives_n = 0), placing it in the moderately processed NOVA 3 category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this lactose‑free milk affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 4.8 g of sugar and 0.09 g of salt per 100 ml, the product provides less sugar than many dairy drinks and very low sodium, so it can fit within a controlled‑carbohydrate diet and is unlikely to raise blood pressure, though diabetics should still count the carbohydrates toward their daily limit.

Is the added lactase enzyme in this milk a problem for individuals allergic to milk proteins?

Lactase is a microbial or fungal enzyme and does not contain milk proteins, so it does not trigger a milk‑protein allergy; the base milk itself remains a potential allergen for those with dairy allergy, while only people allergic to the enzyme itself would need to avoid it.

Product Insights

The product is a 1‑liter bottle of semi‑skimmed cow’s milk from France, treated with lactase to be lactose‑free and labelled organic. It belongs to the “Milk and dairy products” group, carries a Nutri‑Score of B and is classified in NOVA group 3, offering low levels of fat (1.55 g per 100 ml), saturated fat (1 g), sugars (4.8 g) and salt (0.09 g) while providing 3.3 g of protein. However, the presence of added lactase enzyme and calcium salt means it is not a plain milk, and consumers seeking completely unprocessed dairy should consider that it is moderately processed.
