Why is CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup is made from refined tomato puree plus several industrial ingredients such as added sugar, rapeseed oil, modified maize starch, citric acid (E330) and flavourings, as well as dried skimmed milk and double cream, which together meet the criteria for an ultra‑processed food (NOVA 4).

How does the sugar content in this soup affect a diabetic diet?

With 5 g of sugars per 100 g, the soup contains more sugar than the average soup and should be counted toward daily carbohydrate totals; diabetics can enjoy it in moderation but should balance it with low‑carb foods to keep blood glucose stable.

Is the skimmed milk and double cream in this product a concern for people with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the formulation includes both dried skimmed milk and double cream, so it is unsuitable for anyone allergic to milk proteins or who must avoid lactose.
