What factors prevent this semi‑skimmed milk from achieving a Nutri‑Score of A?

The milk’s low fat, sugar and salt levels earn it a high grade, but the presence of natural lactose (4.8 g sugars) and a modest amount of saturated fat (1.1 g) keep the score at B rather than the top A.

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

With 4.8 g of sugars per 100 g, mainly lactose, the milk adds a modest carbohydrate load that should be counted in total daily carbs for diabetics, while its low salt (0.13 g) makes it suitable for hypertension management.

Is this semi‑skimmed milk appropriate for low‑carb or keto dietary plans?

At 4.8 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, the milk exceeds the strict carbohydrate limit of most keto diets (typically ≤5 g net carbs per serving), so it is generally not suitable for strict keto but may fit moderate low‑carb regimens.
