Why is Yogures 0% con fruta classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The yogurt is labeled NOVA 4 because it contains multiple industrial ingredients beyond the basic milk and fruit, including gelatin (E428), artificial sweeteners acesulfame potassium (E950) and sucralose (E955), flavorings (aromas), a beta‑carotene colorant (E160a), and lactic ferments, all of which are added during manufacturing rather than being naturally present.

How does the sugar and salt content in this yogurt affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 5.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the yogurt provides moderate carbohydrate exposure that can raise blood glucose levels, so diabetic individuals should account for it within their total daily sugar allowance; the salt level of 0.16 g is low compared with many processed foods, making it a relatively safe option for hypertension but still requires monitoring as part of overall sodium intake.

Is the gelatin used in this yogurt a concern for vegetarians or those avoiding animal‑derived ingredients?

Yes, gelatin is derived from animal collagen, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans and may be avoided by consumers seeking entirely plant‑based or animal‑free foods.
