Why is Beurre demi-écrémé classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes multiple industrial ingredients such as emulsifiers (E471, E476), a stabiliser (E440), a preservative (E202), an acidity regulator (E270), natural flavourings and a beta‑carotene colour (E160a(i)), which go beyond simple butter and water.

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

With only 0.2 g of sugars per 100 g, the butter adds minimal carbohydrate load for diabetics, but its 0.5 g of salt per 100 g exceeds the average and may contribute to higher blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should limit portion size.

Is the buttermilk in this product a concern for people with a milk allergy?

Yes, buttermilk is a dairy derivative and contains milk proteins; it will trigger reactions in anyone allergic to milk, so the product should be avoided by those with a confirmed milk allergy.
