Why is this semi‑skimmed milk classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The milk is treated with ultra‑high temperature (UHT) processing to extend its shelf life, which places it in the NOVA‑3 category for processed foods, and the label shows zero additives, meaning no preservatives or stabilisers are added.

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

At 4.65 g of sugar per 100 ml the milk provides moderate carbohydrates that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should count it toward their daily carbs, while the very low salt level (0.1 g) makes it a heart‑friendly option for those managing hypertension.

Is the cow’s milk in this product a concern for lactose‑intolerant individuals?

Yes, the product is pure cow’s milk and naturally contains lactose; people with lactose intolerance may experience digestive discomfort and should choose lactose‑free alternatives.
