Why is Latte Caramel classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines dairy, coffee extract, sugar and several industrial stabilizers and emulsifiers, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 tier; its label lists additives E332 (carboxymethylcellulose), E460 (microcrystalline cellulose), E466 (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and E500 (sodium carbonate).

How does the sugar and salt content in Latte Caramel affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 7.7 g of sugar per 100 ml, the drink can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes and should be limited by people with diabetes; its 0.17 g of salt is modest but still contributes to total sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should monitor portion size.

Is Latte Caramel suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Latte Caramel is not vegan because it contains 80 % semi‑skimmed milk; its high sugar level makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets, and although no gluten ingredients are listed, cross‑contamination cannot be ruled out, so gluten‑free claims are not guaranteed.
