Why is Bio soya drink chocolate flavour classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 includes products made mostly from industrial formulations with added sugars, fats, emulsifiers or stabilisers. This drink contains cane sugar, reduced‑fat cocoa powder, sea salt and a stabiliser (gomme gellane, E418), which are typical of ultra‑processed formulations.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 7 g of sugars per 100 ml (14 g per 200 ml serving), the beverage can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for a diabetic diet, while its low salt (0.13 g) is not a concern for hypertension but the high sugar still poses a risk.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like Vegan, Gluten‑Free or Nut‑Free?

The drink is vegan and dairy‑free, but the label warns of possible traces of gluten‑containing cereals (oats, wheat, barley, rye) and nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts), so it is not safe for strict gluten‑free or nut‑free diets.
