Why is KORMA Mild & Creamy classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sauce is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines several refined and industrial ingredients such as single and double cream, modified maize starch, rapeseed oil and concentrated tomato purée, and it undergoes processing steps like emulsification and heat treatment. The only listed additive is lactic acid (E270), which is used to adjust acidity.

How does the sugar and salt content in KORMA Mild & Creamy affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 6.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the sauce contributes a moderate amount of quickly absorbable carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose levels, so diabetic individuals should count it toward their daily sugar allowance. The salt level of 0.64 g per 100 g is modest compared with many sauces but still adds sodium, so people monitoring blood pressure should use it sparingly.

Is the milk present in KORMA Mild & Creamy a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains single cream (5 %) and double cream (2.5 %), both derived from cow’s milk, and also includes lactose from the dairy components. Consumers with milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid this sauce.
