Why is Coca-Cola Zero Azucar classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 4 denotes an ultra-processed product that contains ingredients manufactured through multiple industrial steps; Coca-Cola Zero Azucar includes carbonated water, caramel colour (E150d), phosphoric acid, the artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame-K, sodium citrate as an acidity regulator, natural flavorings, and a caffeine flavoring, all added during processing rather than being whole foods.

Is Coca-Cola Zero Azucar suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

The drink contains only plant-derived ingredients, no animal products, no gluten-containing grains, and virtually zero carbohydrates, making it compatible with vegan, keto, and gluten-free diets; it is generally considered halal, though consumers should verify local certification if required.

How does the presence of artificial sweeteners and phenylalanine affect people with diabetes or phenylketonuria (PKU)?

Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and acesulfame-K do not raise blood glucose, so the product is safe for most people with diabetes, but aspartame releases phenylalanine, which can be harmful to individuals with PKU, who should avoid this beverage.
