Why is Sojadrink classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because the formulation includes refined soy beans, added calcium carbonate, sugar and two food-industry additives – riboflavin (E101) used for vitamin B2 fortification and gellan gum (E418) as a stabiliser.

How does the salt content in this soy drink affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1.7 g of salt per 100 g, the drink contributes a significant portion of the daily recommended limit for sodium, which can raise blood pressure and should be limited or avoided by people managing hypertension.

Is the soy in this drink a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes; the product lists soybeans as an ingredient and is flagged in the allergen information, so individuals with a soy allergy should avoid it.
