Why is Greek style stracciatella yogurt classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is deemed ultra-processed because it includes added sugars, modified corn starch, a vanilla flavoring, chocolate shavings, and a thickening system based on pectin (E440) together with a preservative listed as E14xx.

How does the high sugar content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 13 g of sugar per 100 g can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for tight diabetic control, while the low salt (0.1 g) is not a major concern for hypertension but the overall high sugar still limits its suitability for heart‑healthy diets.

Is the milk in this yogurt a concern for people with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes; the product contains whole milk, cream and skimmed milk powder, providing about 3.7 g of lactose per 100 g, so it is not safe for anyone allergic to dairy or who is lactose intolerant.
