Why is Yogur Griego Natural classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the milk undergoes pasteurisation, cream is added, lactose and milk proteins are re‑introduced, and live bacterial cultures are incorporated – steps that transform the original milk into a formulated product. The label shows zero added food additives, so the ultra‑processed status derives from the processing and ingredient additions rather than additive chemicals.

How does the sugar and salt content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 5.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt provides a moderate carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose and should be counted in a diabetic meal plan, while its very low salt level (0.1 g) makes it suitable for most hypertension‑friendly diets.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

The yogurt contains added lactose in addition to the natural lactose from milk, so it is not suitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant; they should choose a lactose‑free or plant‑based alternative.
