Why is Coconut & Rice Drink classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The drink undergoes multiple industrial steps, including cooking of rice, extraction of coconut, blend formulation, addition of stabilisers, flavouring, and UHT pasteurisation, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. Its additive list includes guar gum (E412) and gellan gum (E418) as stabilisers, plus a natural coconut flavouring, all of which are approved food additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in this Coconut & Rice Drink affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 6.3 g of sugar per 100 ml, the beverage can raise blood glucose levels and should be consumed in moderation by people with diabetes, while its low salt level (0.08 g per 100 ml) is unlikely to impact blood pressure for most hypertensive individuals, though overall daily sodium intake should still be monitored.

Is the coconut component in this drink a concern for people with coconut allergies?

Yes; the product contains 6 % coconut, which can trigger allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to coconut, so consumers with a known coconut allergy should avoid this drink.
