Why is Alpro Soy Yogurt Alternative Himbeere‑Cranberry classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from processed soy beans, added sugars, fruit concentrates and a blend of stabilisers, acidity regulators and flavourings, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group. It contains the additives E296 (apple acid), E304 (ascorbyl fatty acid esters), E306 (tocopherol‑rich extracts), E330 (citric acid), E331 (sodium citrate), E341/E341iii (tricalcium phosphate) and E440 (pectin).

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

With 9.5 g of sugars per 100 g, the product adds moderate carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should count it toward their daily sugar allowance. Its salt level of 0.22 g per 100 g is lower than many desserts, but still contributes to total sodium intake and should be considered in a hypertension‑friendly diet.

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

Yes. Soybeans are listed as an allergen, and the ingredient list specifies peeled soy beans at 9.7 % of the formulation, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid this yoghurt alternative.
