Why is Caramel spread with salted butter classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines several industrial ingredients like glucose syrup, caramel made from glucose syrup and sugar, modified starch, and a range of additives, including sorbate K (E202) as a preservative, tartaric acid (E334) as an acidifier, sucro‑esters of fatty acids as emulsifiers, and flavorings, hence it meets the criteria for a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed food.

How does the high sugar and salt content of this caramel spread affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 52 g of sugar per 100 g, the spread can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for diabetic diets, while the 0.53 g of salt contributes noticeably to daily sodium intake and may exacerbate hypertension.

Is the salted butter in this spread a concern for people with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy?

Yes; the product contains salted butter and condensed milk, both of which provide milk proteins, so it should be avoided by anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
