Why is Rhubarb yeogurt classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 4 because it includes processed ingredients such as corn starch, natural flavouring, elderberry juice concentrate and concentrated lemon juice, which are added to the fermented milk base; these manufacturing steps and added components define it as ultra‑processed despite having no listed artificial additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in Rhubarb yeogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 10.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes, while its low salt level (0.14 g) makes it suitable for most hypertensive diets, though the overall carbohydrate load should still be considered.

Is the milk in Rhubarb yeogurt a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Yes, the product lists milk as a declared allergen, so anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid it; the presence of live cultures does not remove the allergenic potential of the milk proteins.
