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

The product is made from multiple refined ingredients such as sugar, skimmed milk powder, glucose syrup, coconut oil and instant coffee, all of which are industrially processed and combined with additives. It contains two food additives: E330 (citric acid) and E500 (sodium carbonate), which are used as acidity regulators.

How does the sugar and salt content in NESCAFÉ® Cappuccino Praline affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the drink adds a modest amount of carbs that can raise blood glucose, so people managing diabetes should limit the serving size. The salt level is only 0.1 g per 100 g, well below typical sodium recommendations, making it less of a concern for hypertension.

Is the skimmed milk powder in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes. Skimmed milk powder and added lactose are both derived from dairy, so the product is not suitable for anyone allergic to milk proteins or who cannot tolerate lactose.
