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

It is classified as ultra-processed because the formulation relies heavily on industrial ingredients and additives rather than whole foods; the label lists modified starch, carrageenan (E407), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (E466), acesulfame K (E950), sucralose (E955), carotenes (E160a) as a colorant, natural flavorings, lactase and a small amount of caramelized sugar, all of which are typical of NOVA 4 products.

How does the sugar and salt content in High Protein Caramel Pudding affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.5 g of sugars and 0.4 g of salt per 100 g, the pudding is lower in both nutrients than many conventional desserts, so it has a modest impact on blood glucose and blood pressure, but portions should still be monitored by diabetics or those on a low-salt regimen.

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

The product contains skimmed milk and milk-derived proteins, so it is unsafe for anyone with a dairy allergy, but it also includes added lactase that breaks down lactose, making it generally safe for people who are lactose intolerant.
