Why is this soy drink classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is labeled NOVA 4 because its formulation includes ingredients that are not in their natural state, such as cane sugar, grape‑juice concentrate and a thickening agent. The only listed additive is carrageenan (E 407), used to improve texture and stability.

How does the sugar and salt content of this soy drink affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Each 100 ml serving provides 3.6 g of sugar and 0.09 g of salt, which are modest amounts compared with many sweetened beverages. For people managing diabetes, the sugar contribution is relatively low but should still be counted toward daily intake, while the low salt level is generally acceptable for hypertension if overall dietary sodium remains within recommended limits.

Is the soy in this product a concern for people with soy allergy, and is it sustainably sourced?

The drink lists soybeans as a major ingredient and is clearly marked as containing soy, so it should be avoided by anyone with a soy allergy. The soy used is described as non‑GMO French soy, sourced from organic agriculture, which meets common sustainability criteria.
