Why is Leche Calcio desnatada classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product undergoes ultra‑high temperature treatment, is fortified with calcium‑rich solids, vitamins and includes the anti‑caking agent calcium silicate (E‑451), which together place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Leche Calcio desnatada affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.3 g of sugar and 0.13 g of salt per 100 ml, the milk adds a moderate amount of carbohydrate that can raise blood glucose levels and a low but measurable sodium contribution; it can be included in a controlled portion size for diabetes or hypertension but should be balanced with other low‑sugar, low‑salt foods.

Is the milk protein in Leche Calcio desnatada a concern for people with cow‑milk allergy?

Yes, the product contains skimmed milk and added milk proteins, so it is not safe for individuals who are allergic to cow‑milk proteins.
