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

The product includes added sugar, natural strawberry flavor, aromatic substances, carrot concentrate, stevia glycosides and cultured kefir, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods and place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Strawberry Kefir affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 6 g of sugar per 100 g, the kefir provides a moderate carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should monitor portion size; the very low salt (0.11 g) is suitable for hypertension but overall sugar impact remains the main concern.

Is the milk in Strawberry Kefir a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the beverage is made from 97 % fresh semi‑skimmed cow's milk, which is a common allergen; individuals with milk allergy should avoid it.
