Why is Proteina Strawberry classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The dessert is labelled NOVA 4 because it includes multiple industrial ingredients such as sodium citrate (E331), carrageenan (E407), pectin (E440), the artificial sweeteners acesulfame K (E950) and sucralose (E955), as well as flavourings and modified corn starch, all of which go beyond simple home‑prepared foods.

How does the sugar and salt content in Proteina Strawberry affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 3.6 g of sugars and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the dessert is relatively low in these nutrients, making it more suitable than many sweetened dairy desserts for people managing blood glucose or blood pressure, though the presence of non‑nutritive sweeteners should still be considered in individualized meal plans.

Is the carrageenan used as a thickener safe for regular consumption?

Carrageenan (E407) is approved for use in food and acts as a stabiliser in this product; regulatory agencies consider it safe at the levels used in dairy desserts, although some consumers prefer to avoid it due to occasional reports of gastrointestinal sensitivity.
