Why is Hipro 20g Proteine classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product contains several industrial ingredients such as carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, and the artificial sweeteners acesulfame K and sucralose, which together with the refined cocoa powder and modified starch place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this pudding affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.7 g of sugar and 0.29 g of salt per 100 g, the pudding is lower in these nutrients than many desserts, but the remaining sugar still contributes to carbohydrate intake and may impact blood‑glucose control, while the salt amount is moderate and should be considered within daily limits for hypertension.

Is Hipro 20g Proteine suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No. The formula contains dairy milk, egg and may contain gluten traces, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free, and its 4.7 g of sugars per 100 g provide enough carbs to make it unsuitable for strict keto diets.
