Why is High Protein Porridge Klassisch classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product falls into NOVA 4 because it is a formulated, ready‑to‑eat food that contains multiple industrial ingredients. Its additive list comprises xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener and three artificial sweeteners – acesulfam K (E950), cyclamate (E952) and saccharin (E954) – together with milk‑derived proteins and other processed starches.

How does the sugar and salt content in this porridge influence a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 4.5 g of sugars and 0.16 g of salt per 100 g, the porridge provides a low‑glycaemic and low‑sodium option that can fit into diabetic or hypertensive meal plans, although the presence of artificial sweeteners may require individual tolerance assessment.

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

The ingredient list includes whole milk, skimmed milk and milk protein isolate, all of which are recognised milk allergens; therefore people with a milk allergy or severe lactose intolerance should avoid this product.
