Why is this almond milk classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is ultra‑processed because it undergoes ultra‑high temperature (UHT) pasteurisation and includes functional additives: gellan gum (E418) as a stabiliser and sunflower lecithin (E322) as an emulsifier, which are listed in the ingredient statement.

How does the low sugar and moderate salt content in this almond milk affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 0 g of sugar per 100 ml, the beverage is safe for blood‑glucose management in diabetes, while the 0.15 g of salt is below the average for similar drinks but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should consume it in moderation.

Is the almond and other nut content in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes; the product contains 2.3 % almonds and may also contain traces of hazelnuts, cashews and walnuts, so anyone with a tree‑nut allergy should avoid it.
