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

The drink is made from water, concentrated coconut water, sugar and mineral salts that are blended and then packaged, a process that classifies it as ultra-processed; it includes preservatives (E242, E202, E224), an acidity regulator (E330 citric acid), an antioxidant (E300 ascorbic acid), iodised salt and nature-identical flavouring substances.

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

Each 100 g of the beverage provides 6 g of sugar (about 12 g per typical 250 ml serving) which can raise blood glucose levels, and 0.05 g of salt (approximately 0.1 g per serving), adding modest sodium; therefore people managing diabetes or high blood pressure should consume it only in moderation.

Is Swing Coconut Water Drink suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten-free diets?

All listed ingredients are plant-based and contain no gluten, so the drink is both vegan and gluten-free, but with 6.2 g of carbohydrates per 100 g (approximately 12 g per 250 ml serving) it exceeds the low-carb threshold required for a keto diet.
