Why is Drink yoghurt banana kiwi classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because it contains multiple industrial ingredients beyond the base dairy, including modified corn starch, whey powder, acidity regulator (E330), stabiliser (E410), artificial sweetener (E955), colourants (E160a, E141), another acidity regulator (E331) and flavouring, all typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 4.5 g of sugars and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the drink adds a modest carbohydrate load and minimal sodium; diabetics should count the sugars within their total daily allowance, while the low salt level fits comfortably within most hypertension guidelines.

Is this yogurt drink suitable for a vegan diet, and does it contain any common allergens such as milk?

No; the product is made from 80 % skimmed dairy yogurt and includes whey powder, so it is not vegan and it contains milk, which is a listed allergen.
