Question 1

Why does Semi Skimmed Milk receive a Nutri‑Score of B and what factors influence that rating?

Accepted Answer

The Nutri‑Score combines negative points for energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt with positive points for protein, calcium and the presence of fruit/vegetables. This milk scores low on negatives because of its low fat, low saturated fat and low salt, and gains positive points from its protein and calcium content, resulting in an overall B grade.

Question 2

How do the sugar (4.8 g) and salt (0.1 g) levels in this milk impact a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

Accepted Answer

The 4.8 g of sugar per 100 ml adds a modest amount of carbohydrates, which diabetics must count toward their daily allowance but is not excessively high. The 0.1 g of salt per 100 ml is low, so it has minimal effect on blood pressure, making the milk a relatively safe choice for hypertensive individuals when consumed in moderation.

Question 3

Is this semi‑skimmed milk appropriate for low‑carb/keto diets or for people with lactose intolerance?

Accepted Answer

The milk contains lactose, a natural milk sugar, so it is not suitable for those with lactose intolerance unless they use lactase supplements. Its carbohydrate content of about 5 g per 100 ml means it is not keto‑friendly, though the low fat and moderate protein can fit within a low‑carb plan if portion sizes are controlled.
