Why is Premium Bourbon - Dairy ice cream classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined dairy and sweetener ingredients and includes several industrial additives: an emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, E471), stabilisers (carob seed flour and guar gum), a colourant (carotenoids, E160) and a natural vanilla flavour, all of which raise its processing level to NOVA 4.

How does the sugar and saturated-fat content in this ice cream affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 19.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the product can cause rapid blood-glucose spikes, which is problematic for diabetics; its 11.4 g of saturated fat can increase LDL cholesterol, a concern for heart health, while the very low salt (0.05 g) does not pose a risk for hypertension, though portion control remains important.

Is this product safe for people with common allergens such as milk, gluten, soy, nuts, or peanuts?

The ice cream contains skimmed milk and sweet whey, so it is not safe for those with milk or dairy allergies; the label also warns of possible traces of gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oat), soy, various tree nuts and peanuts, making it risky for individuals sensitive to any of these allergens.
