Why is this lactose‑free milk classified in NOVA group 3 and what ingredients contribute to that rating?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because the milk undergoes high‑temperature processing (UHT) and has the lactase enzyme added to break down lactose, both of which make it a processed rather than a minimally processed product.

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

With 4 g of sugar and 0.1 g of salt per 100 ml, the milk is lower in both sugar and sodium than many flavored dairy drinks, making it a relatively safer choice for diabetes and hypertension, though it should still be consumed in moderation within the overall daily limits.

Is the lactase enzyme used in this product a concern for people with specific allergies or dietary restrictions?

Lactase is a protein enzyme derived from microbial sources; it is generally considered safe for most consumers, but individuals with severe enzyme allergies should check the label, and the product remains unsuitable for vegans if the enzyme is not certified vegan.
