Why is Tzatziki Extra classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because the formulation combines a dairy base with extracted oils, concentrated lemon juice, thickeners and flavor enhancers; the only listed additive is xanthan gum (E415), a food‑grade thickening agent.

How does the sugar and salt content in Tzatziki Extra affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The dip contains relatively low sugar (3.3 g per 100 g), which has minimal impact on blood glucose, but its salt level of 0.82 g per 100 g contributes about 16 % of the recommended daily limit, so people monitoring blood pressure should use it sparingly.

Is the Greek yogurt in this product a concern for individuals with milk allergy?

Yes, the primary ingredient is Greek yogurt (58 % of the product) and the label lists milk as an allergen, so anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid this dip.
