Why is the Drink with pear and blueberry flavor classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

A product receives a NOVA 4 rating when it is made mostly from industrial ingredients and contains added additives; this beverage includes citric acid (E330), steviol glycosides (E960) as a sweetener, caramelized sugar syrup, a natural flavouring, and carrot concentrate for colour.

How does the sugar content of 3.2 g per 100 g in this beverage affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 3.2 g of sugar per 100 g the drink provides fewer carbohydrates than many soft drinks, which can help limit blood‑glucose spikes for diabetics, and it contains no salt, so it does not add to hypertension risk; however, the sugar still contributes calories and should be consumed in moderation.

Is this vitamin‑enhanced pear‑blueberry drink suitable for a strict vegan diet?

Yes, all listed ingredients, including water, sugar, citric acid, carrot colour, natural flavour, stevia sweetener and synthetic vitamins, are plant‑based, and the product is labeled vegan and vegetarian.
