Why is this lactose‑free milk classified as NOVA 3 and what processing does it involve?

The product is regular semi‑skimmed cow's milk that has been ultra‑heat treated for safety and then fortified with the lactase enzyme; this level of processing places it in the moderate‑processing NOVA 3 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in this milk affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.8 g of sugars and only 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the drink is lower in both sugar and sodium than typical milks, making it a relatively safe choice for diabetes or hypertension when consumed in typical serving sizes, though it still contains natural milk sugars.

Is the lactase enzyme in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies?

The added lactase itself is not an allergen, but the milk still contains all the usual milk proteins that trigger dairy allergies, so anyone allergic to milk should avoid this product.
