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

At 8.1 g of sugars per 100 g, the yogurt adds a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should consume it in controlled portions; the low salt level of 0.09 g per 100 g is well within recommended limits for hypertension, making the product relatively safe for blood‑pressure management.

Based on the ingredient list, is this yogurt suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

The yogurt contains only plant‑derived ingredients and no dairy, so it is gluten‑free and generally acceptable for halal consumers, but some additives have uncertain vegan status and the presence of added sugars makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets; overall it fits vegan and gluten‑free diets but not keto.
