Why is Kefir Multifruits classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink undergoes multiple processing steps, including the addition of refined sugar, modified starch, a natural flavour, citric acid and sodium citrates, which are typical of ultra‑processed foods and place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar content in Kefir Multifruits affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 9 g of total sugars per 100 g, including about 6 g of added sugars, the beverage can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt (0.1 g) does not pose a hypertension risk.

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

Yes, the product contains partially skimmed cow’s milk, which provides lactose and dairy proteins; it is therefore not safe for individuals with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
