Why is FLIPS Cheese Flavor classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is made from refined cornmeal, multiple vegetable oils, whey and milk powders, and includes several processed ingredients such as modified corn starch, natural flavorings, and an antioxidant from rosemary extract (E392). These industrial components, together with the high proportion of added fats and flavor enhancers, place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content in FLIPS Cheese Flavor affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack can raise blood‑glucose levels and should be limited by people managing diabetes. The 1.58 g of salt per 100 g contributes a notable amount of sodium, which may be problematic for individuals with hypertension, so moderation is advised.

Is the cheese powder in FLIPS Cheese Flavor a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes. The product contains cheese powder, whey powder and whole milk powder, all of which are derived from cow's milk and are listed as milk allergens. Anyone with a milk allergy should avoid this snack.
