Why is Mature Cheddar & Chive classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is made from sliced potatoes that are fried in sunflower oil and flavored with a blend of lactose, cheddar cheese powder, onion and garlic powders, chives and a small amount of paprika extract (E160c) as a colour; the inclusion of multiple processed ingredients and a food‑grade colourant places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.6 g of sugars and 0.38 g of salt per 100 g, the crisps add modest sugar but relatively low sodium; they can fit into a controlled‑salt diet for hypertension but may raise blood sugar levels for diabetics, so portion control is advisable.

Is the lactose in this product a concern for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product lists lactose (derived from milk) as an ingredient and the allergen label flags milk, so it should be avoided by anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
