Why is Leche sin lactosa classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product undergoes ultra‑high temperature treatment and the addition of a lactase enzyme to break down lactose, which places it in NOVA group 3; aside from the enzyme, the only added ingredients are vitamins A, D, E and folic acid, with no preservatives or sweeteners.

How does the sugar and salt content in Leche sin lactosa affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

With 4.8 g of sugars and 0.13 g of salt per 100 g, the milk provides far less sugar and salt than typical milks, making it a more suitable option for people managing blood‑glucose levels or blood‑pressure, though it should still be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Is this lactose‑free milk suitable for gluten‑free, vegan, keto or other strict diets?

The product is certified gluten‑free and lactose‑free, but it contains cow’s milk and therefore is not vegan; its carbohydrate content (4.8 g per 100 g) exceeds the typical keto limit, so it is unsuitable for a strict keto regimen.
