Why is Bifrutas tropical classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink contains several industrial ingredients such as the non‑nutritive sweetener sucralose, citric acid (E330), pectin, flavorings, a colorant (E‑160a i), added sugar and fortified vitamins, which collectively place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Bifrutas tropical affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the beverage provides a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose and should be consumed in limited portions by people with diabetes. Its salt content is only 0.03 g per 100 g, which is relatively low and unlikely to pose a major risk for hypertension, though overall sodium intake should still be monitored.

Is the skimmed milk in Bifrutas tropical a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes. The product contains 10 % skimmed milk, which is listed as a milk allergen and provides lactose, so it is not suitable for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
