Why is Protein Stracciatella Yogurt classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product combines basic dairy with many secondary ingredients such as sugar water, glucose syrup, starch, natural vanilla flavouring, citric acid, pectin, paprika extract, sunflower lecithin and chocolate pieces, each of which is industrially manufactured; the presence of these multiple processed components and additives triggers the NOVA 4 classification.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this yogurt affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 11.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt can raise blood glucose and should be limited by people with diabetes, whereas its low salt content (0.15 g per 100 g) is unlikely to aggravate hypertension, though overall dietary balance remains important.

Is Protein Stracciatella Yogurt suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Because it contains skimmed milk and milk protein, the yogurt is not vegan; its carbohydrate content (12.9 g) and high sugar make it unsuitable for strict keto diets, but it does not contain wheat or other gluten sources, so it can be considered gluten‑free for most consumers.
