Why is Radler Natur Trüb classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is made from a blend of beer, lemon concentrate, sweeteners and several functional ingredients, including carbonation (E290), citric acid (E330), a stabiliser (E414) and a thickening agent (E410), which together place it in the NOVA‑4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the low‑sugar, low‑calorie profile of this radler affect people with diabetes or weight‑management goals?

With virtually no sugar and only 38 kcal per 100 ml, the radler adds minimal carbohydrate load, making it a relatively safe occasional option for diabetics and those watching calorie intake, though the alcohol content should still be considered.

Is the malt component in this product a problem for individuals with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the beer portion contains barley malt, which is a source of gluten, so the radler is not suitable for people who need to avoid gluten.
