Why is Lactofree Semi Skimmed Milk classified as NOVA 3 and does it contain any additives?

The product is labelled NOVA 3 because it undergoes processing steps such as homogenisation, UHT treatment and the addition of lactase enzyme to break down lactose; however, it contains no added preservatives, colourings or other food additives, as indicated by the zero additives count.

How does the sugar and salt content of this milk affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With only 2.6 g of sugars and 0.07 g of salt per 100 ml, the milk is low in both sugar and sodium, making it a suitable option for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Is the lactase enzyme in Lactofree Milk safe for individuals with a milk allergy?

The lactase enzyme only breaks down lactose, the milk sugar; it does not alter the milk proteins that trigger allergic reactions, so people with a true milk protein allergy should still avoid this product despite its lactose‑free claim.
