Why is Leche Calcio Semidesnatada classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labeled NOVA 4 because it contains ingredients that are not found in plain milk, namely a stabiliser (E‑452) and added vitamins A, D, E, K and folic acid, which qualify it as an ultra‑processed food.

How does the sugar and salt content of this milk affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 5.7 g of sugars per 100 ml, the milk provides moderate carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should monitor portion size; the 0.2 g of salt is low and generally acceptable for hypertension, but total daily salt intake should still be considered.

Is the milk protein in this product a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Yes, the product lists milk proteins as an ingredient and the allergen label includes milk, so anyone allergic to dairy should avoid this milk.
