Why is Greek Yogurt without Added Sugar classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes several industrial ingredients such as modified starch, the non‑nutritive sweetener stevia (E960), potassium sorbate as a preservative, the natural colour carmine (E120) and carotene, as well as flavorings and acidic citrus blend, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this yogurt affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 4 g of sugar and 0.13 g of salt per 100 g, the yogurt is lower in both nutrients than the average dairy dessert, making it a moderate option for diabetics and hypertensive individuals when consumed in appropriate portions, but the natural sugars from milk and fruit still contribute to total carbohydrate intake and should be counted in daily limits.

Is this yogurt suitable for vegan, keto, or lactose‑free diets?

The yogurt is not vegan because it contains dairy and carmine, which is derived from insects. It is labeled lactose‑free, so it can be tolerated by most people with lactose intolerance. However, with 4.2 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, it is relatively high in carbs for a strict keto diet.
