Why is Protein Chocolate Flavour Shake classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The shake combines multiple refined ingredients such as skimmed milk, milk protein concentrate, cocoa powder, flavorings and industrial stabilisers, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; its additive list includes cellulose (E460), cellulose gum (E466) and the sweetener sucralose (E955).

How do the sugar and salt levels in this shake affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 20 g of sugar per 435 ml serving, the shake can cause a rapid blood‑glucose rise, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt content (0.06 g per 100 g) is unlikely to impact hypertension but should still be considered within total daily sodium intake.

Is the milk content in Protein Chocolate Flavour Shake a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes; the product lists skimmed milk and milk protein concentrate as primary ingredients and contains lactose (about 2.5 g per 100 g), so it is not suitable for those with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy.
