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

The milk undergoes UHT treatment, is packaged in a multilayer Tetra Pak, and includes added lactase enzyme to break down lactose as well as fortified vitamins A and D, which together place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With 4.8 g of sugar per 100 ml, the product provides a modest carbohydrate load that diabetics should count in their daily intake, while its very low salt level of 0.05 g per 100 ml is negligible for hypertension management.

Is the casein protein in this lactose‑free milk a problem for people with milk allergy?

Yes, the milk still contains casein, a milk protein, so individuals with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid this product despite its lactose‑free status.
