Why is Alpro Joghurtalternative on Soy Base classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it is a formulated food that includes multiple industrial ingredients such as citric acid (E330), sodium citrate (E331) as acidity regulators, pectin (E440a) as a stabiliser, tocopherol‑rich extracts (E306) and ascorbyl palmitate (E304) as antioxidants, calcium citrate for calcium fortification, natural flavourings and added vitamins, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed items.

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

With only 1.9 g of sugar and 0.09 g of salt per 100 g, the soy‑based yogurt contributes minimally to blood glucose spikes and daily sodium limits, making it a suitable occasional choice for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, provided total daily intake remains within individual dietary guidelines.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and low‑fat diets?

The product is fully vegan, contains very low fat, and meets low‑fat claims, but it is not gluten‑free because gluten is listed as an allergen; therefore it fits vegan and low‑fat diets but should be avoided by those requiring a gluten‑free diet.
