How does the sugar and salt content in this low‑fat milk affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 4.9 g of sugars and 0.13 g of salt per 100 ml, the milk is lower in both sugar and sodium than typical milks, which can help manage blood glucose and blood pressure, but the natural lactose still contributes carbohydrates that diabetics should count.

Is the lactose in this milk a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance, and are there any alternatives?

Yes, the product contains about 4.9 g of lactose per 100 g, which can cause discomfort for lactose‑intolerant people; lactase‑treated milk, lactose‑free dairy options, or plant‑based milks such as soy or oat provide suitable alternatives.

Why does this milk receive a Nutri‑Score of B despite being low‑fat, and which nutrients influence this rating?

The Nutri‑Score B reflects the milk’s low energy (≈ 47 kcal), low saturated fat (1 g), modest sugar level (4.9 g), and relatively high protein (3.4 g) per 100 ml; these positive factors outweigh the small amount of salt and the lack of fiber, resulting in a favorable B rating.
