Why is Yaourt au lait entier - saveur Citron classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The yogurt is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes ingredients that go beyond basic processing, such as added refined sugar, concentrated skim milk and a natural lemon flavoring, and it undergoes pasteurisation and fermentation. No synthetic additives are listed, so the classification stems from these added components rather than from artificial additives.

How does the high sugar content in this lemon yogurt affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 12 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is undesirable for diabetics, and although its salt is low (0.09 g), the overall sweet load may contribute to calorie excess and weight gain, indirectly influencing blood pressure.

Is the milk in this product a concern for individuals who are lactose intolerant?

Yes; the yogurt contains whole milk, skimmed concentrated milk and lactose as part of its formulation, providing roughly 3 g of lactose per 100 g, which can trigger symptoms in people with lactose intolerance.
