Why is Yaourt aux arômes naturels de fruits classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The yogurt is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines a base of whole‑milk yogurt with added cane sugar, multiple natural fruit flavorings and milk‑derived powders, all of which require industrial processing steps. Although no chemical additives (E‑numbers) are listed, the product does contain added sugars, natural strawberry, coconut, peach and lemon flavorings, and fermented milk cultures, which together drive the ultra‑processed classification.

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

The yogurt provides 4.8 g of sugars per 100 g, which is lower than many sweetened yogurts but still contributes to daily carbohydrate intake; people managing diabetes should consume it in moderation and account for the sugars in their overall meal plan. Its salt level is very low at 0.12 g per 100 g, making it suitable for hypertension‑friendly diets when portion sizes are controlled.

Is the milk in this yogurt a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

The product is made primarily from whole cow's milk (90 %) and includes skimmed milk powder, delivering about 4.5 g of lactose per 100 g. This makes it unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy and potentially problematic for those with severe lactose intolerance, although the fermentation process may reduce lactose slightly compared with plain milk.
