Why is Gelatina de yogur 0% lima‑limón classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from multiple processed ingredients such as reconstituted whey, modified corn starch, concentrated lime juice, and several food‑grade additives. Its additive list includes gelatin, sucralose (E955), acesulfame‑potassium (E950), sorbate potassium (E202) as a preservative, and lutein (E161b) as a colour, all of which contribute to its NOVA 4 ultra‑processed status.

How does the presence of artificial sweeteners in this gelatina affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

The gelatina uses sucralose and acesulfame‑potassium, which provide sweetness without adding measurable sugars, so they do not raise blood glucose directly. However, some health guidelines recommend limiting intense sweeteners for diabetic patients, and the product still contains 0.13 g of salt per 100 g, which should be considered for hypertensive individuals.

Is the gelatin in this dessert suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets?

No. The gelatin used is derived from animal collagen, making the gelatina unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. Consumers following plant‑based diets should choose alternatives that use pectin or agar‑agar instead of animal gelatin.
