Why is Yogures de sabores fresa, macedonia, limón, galleta classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The yogurt is considered ultra‑processed because it includes added sugar, multiple flavorings and colourants that are not present in plain milk, and undergoes industrial processing steps; its label lists the additive curcumin (E100) and the colourant carmine (E120) along with natural caramel flavouring.

How does the sugar content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 11.9 g of sugars per 100 g, the yogurt can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic meal plans, while its low salt (0.11 g) means it has minimal impact on hypertension, though the high sugar remains the primary concern.

Is this yogurt suitable for a vegan diet?

No, the product is made from fresh semi‑skimmed milk and skimmed milk powder, both animal‑derived, and it also contains carmine, a colourant sourced from insects, so it does not meet vegan standards.
