Why is Kéfir - Myrtille classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is rated NOVA 4 because it combines a base dairy product with multiple processing steps such as sugar addition, fruit‑juice concentration, and flavoring, which transform the original milk into a complex formulation; however, the label lists no listed food additives, only added sugar and natural flavour, so the ultra‑processed status stems from ingredient handling rather than additive presence.

How does the sugar and salt content in Kéfir - Myrtille affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 7.8 g of sugar per 100 ml, the kefir contributes a moderate glycemic load that can raise blood glucose levels, making it less suitable for strict diabetic control, while its low salt level of 0.12 g per 100 ml is well below typical hypertension thresholds and therefore does not pose a significant sodium concern.

Is the milk in Kéfir - Myrtille a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Yes; the product’s primary ingredient is skimmed fermented milk, which contains lactose and milk proteins, so individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy should avoid it despite the presence of kefir cultures.
