Why is High Protein Coffee Drink - Caramel Macchiato Style classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is considered ultra‑processed because it combines several industrial ingredients, including stabilisers and sweeteners. Its additive list features E340 (potassium phosphate), E407 (carrageenan), and E950 (acesulfame K) as well as flavouring agents and caffeine, all of which are typical of NOVA‑4 products.

How does the sugar and sodium content of this coffee drink affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The product contains virtually no added sugars and the carbohydrate content is modest at 5.2 g per 100 ml, so it has a limited impact on blood glucose levels. Sodium is not declared, indicating a very low salt level, which makes it generally suitable for hypertensive diets when consumed in moderation.

Is the milk protein in this product a concern for lactose‑intolerant or milk‑allergic individuals?

Yes. The drink contains skimmed milk, whole milk and milk protein concentrate, providing both lactose and milk proteins. People with lactose intolerance may experience discomfort, and anyone with a milk allergy should avoid this product entirely.
