Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

The product is made from multiple refined ingredients, sugar, skimmed milk powder, glucose syrup, coconut oil, instant coffee and flavorings, that are mixed and dried into a powder, a process that fits the definition of ultra‑processed foods. Its additive list includes sodium bicarbonate (E500ii) as an acidity regulator, citric acid (E330) for pH balance, and natural flavorings, all of which are typical of NOVA 4 formulations.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

With 3.8 g of sugars per 100 g, the drink supplies a moderate amount of rapidly absorbable carbohydrates, which can raise blood glucose levels and should be counted toward daily sugar limits for diabetics. The salt level of 0.1 g per 100 g is modest but can contribute to total sodium intake, so people managing hypertension should consider it within their overall daily sodium budget.

Question 3

Is the skimmed milk powder in this cappuccino a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The formulation contains 22 % skimmed milk powder and an additional lactose ingredient, both of which trigger reactions in individuals with milk allergy and can cause digestive symptoms in those who are lactose intolerant. Consumers with these sensitivities should avoid the product or choose a dairy‑free alternative.
