Why is Skyr Vanilla Fat Free classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA 3 because it undergoes industrial processing that adds water, sugar, maize starch, lemon-juice concentrate and natural vanilla flavouring to the base skyr yogurt; however, no formal food additives are listed (additives_n = 0), so the only extra ingredients are these added sugars and flavourings.

How does the sugar and salt content in Skyr Vanilla Fat Free affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 7.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the product provides a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should consume it in limited portions; the salt level is low at 0.12 g per 100 g, which is well below the average and generally safe for hypertension.

Based on its ingredients, is Skyr Vanilla Fat Free suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten-free diets?

No, it is not vegan because it contains skyr yogurt made from skimmed milk, and it is not keto-friendly due to the added sugar and maize starch that raise total carbs; however, it is gluten-free as no wheat-based ingredients are present.
