Why is Active Drink Orange Carrot classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra‑processed because the formulation combines added sugars, fructose, a vitamin premix, citric acid, potassium sorbate, two artificial sweeteners (acesulfame‑K and sucralose) and flavorings, all of which are industrial ingredients that go beyond simple whole foods.

How does the sugar and salt content of this beverage affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 3.6 g of sugar per 100 ml, the drink can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed sparingly by people with diabetes, while its very low salt level (0.01 g) has minimal impact on blood pressure for those with hypertension.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto or other strict dietary regimes?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived and the sweeteners are vegan‑certified, so the drink is suitable for vegans, but the sugar and carbohydrate content make it incompatible with strict keto diets, and it contains no animal allergens, fitting most other common dietary restrictions.
