Why is Ktipiti Fresh Cheese and Red Pepper dip classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes several industrial ingredients such as pre‑fried onions, added sugar, a sodium preservative (potassium sorbate, E202) and a thickener (xanthan gum, E415), which move it beyond minimally processed foods.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this dip affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 5 g of sugar and 0.82 g of salt per 100 g, the dip is lower in sugar and much lower in salt than many sauces, but diabetics should still count the carbs and hypertensive individuals should monitor the sodium intake as part of their total daily allowance.

Is the skimmed cheese in this product a concern for consumers allergic to milk or other common allergens?

Yes, the dip contains skimmed milk cheese, so it is not safe for people with a milk allergy, and the label also warns of possible traces of gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, sesame and mollusks.
