Why is Noisette/Hazelnut Macchiato classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink is considered ultra‑processed because its ingredient list includes several industrial additives such as carrageenan (E407) and guar gum (E412) for thickening, mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids as emulsifiers, and natural flavourings that are created through extraction and blending processes.

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

With 8.5 g of sugars per 100 ml, the macchiato adds a moderate amount of quick‑acting carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should monitor their portion size; the low salt level (0.09 g) means it has minimal impact on blood pressure for hypertensive individuals.

Is the milk in Noisette/Hazelnut Macchiato a concern for people with dairy allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the beverage contains 75 % milk, which is a declared allergen and provides lactose; individuals with a dairy allergy should avoid it, and those with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort unless they use lactase supplements.
