Why is + Proteína Stracciatella classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product receives a NOVA 4 label because it combines several industrial ingredients beyond basic dairy, such as chocolate pieces, corn starch, lactic ferments, natural flavours, and a pectin thickener, and it uses three declared additives: sucralose (E955) as a sweetener, potassium sorbate (E202) as a preservative, and pectin (E440i) as a thickener.

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

With 3.6 g of sugars and 0.07 g of salt per 100 g, the yogurt is low in both nutrients compared with typical flavored yogurts, making it suitable for moderate consumption in diabetic or hypertensive diets, but portion control remains important because the sugars are still present and the product contains added sweetener.

Is the milk in + Proteína Stracciatella a problem for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes. The yogurt is made from pasteurized skimmed milk, which naturally contains lactose, and no lactase enzyme or lactose‑free processing is indicated, so it may cause symptoms in individuals who are lactose intolerant.
