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

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it combines pasteurised milk with water, sugar, coffee extract and several industrial ingredients such as modified starch (E1442), carrageenan (E407) as a stabiliser, sodium hydroxide (E524) as an acidity regulator, and added flavourings, all of which are typical of NOVA 4 foods.

How does the sugar content in this Latte affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 9.3 g of sugar per 100 ml, the latte supplies a moderate amount of sugar that can raise blood glucose levels, so people with diabetes should monitor portion size; however, its salt level is low (0.09 g), making it less of a concern for hypertension.

Is the milk in this Latte a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes, the beverage lists pasteurised milk (75 % of the formula) as a primary ingredient and flags milk as an allergen, so it is unsuitable for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
