Why is Saint‑Marcellin classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It is produced from whole cow’s milk, salt, lactic ferments and rennet, with the milk only thermised before cheese‑making; no food additives are listed, which places it in NOVA group 3.

How does the saturated‑fat and salt content of Saint‑Marcellin affect a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet?

With 16.3 g of saturated fat and 0.79 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese is relatively high in saturated fat and moderate in salt, so it should be consumed in limited portions by people monitoring cholesterol or blood pressure.

Is the milk in Saint‑Marcellin a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

The cheese is made from whole milk and contains about 4.15 g of lactose per 100 g, so it may cause symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals and is not suitable as a lactose‑free option.
