Why is High Protein Milk 0.1% Fat classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink undergoes multiple industrial steps, UHT heating, homogenisation, and addition of a lactase enzyme to remove lactose, plus fortified milk minerals; these processes meet the criteria for NOVA 4. Although the label reports zero synthetic additives, the lactase enzyme and mineral fortification are considered functional ingredients.

How does the sugar and salt content in High Protein Milk 0.1% Fat affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 2.5 g of sugar and 0.08 g of salt per 100 ml, the milk is low in both nutrients, making it a relatively safe choice for people managing blood glucose or blood pressure, though the sugar still contributes modestly to daily carbohydrate limits and should be counted.

Is the lactase enzyme in this milk a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose and does not trigger dairy allergies; however, the product still contains milk proteins such as casein and whey, so it remains unsuitable for individuals with a true milk protein allergy, while it is safe for those who are lactose intolerant.

Product Insights

High Protein Milk 0.1% Fat is a Swiss‑produced, organic semi‑skimmed milk beverage from the Emmi brand, packaged in a recyclable Tetra Pak brick. It delivers 7 g of protein per 100 ml while containing only 0.1 g fat, 0.1 g saturated fat, 0.08 g salt and 2.5 g sugars, giving it a Nutri‑Score of B and placing it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. The product is enriched with lactase enzyme to eliminate lactose and undergoes UHT treatment and homogenisation, which means it lacks fiber or fruit‑vegetable content and may be less suitable for those seeking minimally processed dairy.
