Why is Lemon Cheesecake Flavor classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from a refined soy base combined with many isolated ingredients; it contains additives such as pectin (stabiliser), citric acid and sodium citrates (acidity regulators), modified starch, sea salt, flavouring (aroma), a tocopherol‑rich antioxidant extract, added vitamins (B2, D2, B12) and live yoghurt cultures, all typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content of this dessert affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 8.4 g of sugar per 100 g, the dessert adds a noticeable carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose levels, so diabetics should consume it sparingly; the low salt level of 0.11 g per 100 g is unlikely to have a significant impact on hypertension.

Is the soy ingredient in Lemon Cheesecake Flavor a concern for individuals with soy allergies?

Yes, the product's main component is a soy base (86.5 % of the formula) and it is labelled with a soybeans allergen warning, making it unsuitable for anyone who is allergic to soy.
