Why is Danao peach apricot classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines fruit‑juice concentrate, dairy and several non‑nutritional ingredients such as a stabiliser (fruit pectin, E440), citric acid (E330), natural flavourings, a carotene colourant (E160) and added vitamin E, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods, leading to its NOVA 4 classification.

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

With 8.7 g of sugar per 100 ml, the drink can cause a rapid rise in blood glucose, so people with diabetes should limit consumption; the product contains no added salt, so it does not directly impact hypertension, but the high sugar load can indirectly affect blood pressure control.

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

Yes. The formula includes 16 % pasteurised skimmed milk, which contains lactose and is listed as a milk allergen; therefore it is unsuitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy.
