Why is the Rice pudding with rum and raisin classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The classification stems from the use of multiple industrial ingredients such as added sugars, caramelized sugar syrup, natural flavour, rum, corn and rice starches, and a stabiliser (pectin, listed as additive E440); these processed components together place the product in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group.

How does the sugar and salt content in this rice pudding affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 14 g of sugar per 100 g, the pudding can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, which is problematic for diabetes management, while the relatively low salt level (0.11 g) poses minimal risk for hypertension but still contributes to overall sodium intake.

Is the whole milk in this dessert a problem for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Whole milk provides calcium and protein but also contains lactose, so individuals with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort, and anyone with a confirmed milk allergy should avoid the product entirely because milk is the declared allergen.
