Question 1

Why is High Protein Caramel Pudding classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Accepted Answer

The pudding is considered ultra‑processed because its formulation relies on multiple industrial ingredients beyond the basic dairy base. It contains thickeners such as E407 (pectin) and E466 (carboxymethylcellulose), artificial sweeteners E950 (acesulfame K) and E955 (sucralose), and colourants 150d (Sunset Yellow) and 160a (carotene), all of which are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

With only 4 g of sugar and no added sugars per 100 g, the pudding is relatively low in carbohydrates, making it a moderate choice for people managing diabetes when consumed in appropriate portions. Its salt level of 0.2 g per 100 g is also low, which fits well within the recommended limits for a hypertensive diet.

Question 3

Is the milk protein in this pudding a concern for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The pudding lists pasteurised milk, milk proteins and cream as primary ingredients, and although the lactose content is declared as less than 0.01 g per 100 g, the presence of intact milk proteins means it can trigger reactions in individuals with a true milk allergy. For those with lactose intolerance, the trace lactose is unlikely to cause symptoms, but they should still verify tolerance with a healthcare professional.
