Why is Icelandic style yoghurt superberry classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines skimmed milk with a "SUPERBERRY FRUIT PREPARATION" that includes added sugar, fruit purees, cornflour, lemon juice concentrate, multiple berry juices and a flavoring, all of which are industrially processed ingredients; this mixture results in a NOVA 4 classification. No specific additive codes are listed on the label, but the flavoring component is considered an additive.

How does the sugar and salt content of this yoghurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 7.8 g of sugars (about 4.5 g added sugars) per 100 g, the yoghurt can raise blood glucose and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes. The salt level is low at 0.12 g per 100 g, so it is unlikely to impact hypertension, making sugar the primary dietary concern.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies, and are there any other common allergens?

Milk is the only declared allergen, so anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid the product. The formulation does not contain gluten, nuts, soy or palm oil, but the fruit extracts could trigger sensitivities in some individuals.
