Why is Mozzarella grated classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Although the product is listed in NOVA group 3, it is considered processed because it contains added salt, a starter culture, microbial rennet and a small amount of corn starch; no E-number additives are declared, so these ingredients are the only processing aids.

How does the sugar/salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The cheese provides only 0.1 g of sugar per 100 g, so it has minimal impact on blood glucose for diabetics, but the 1.3 g of salt per 100 g can increase sodium intake and may need to be limited for people with hypertension.

Is the milk in this product a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Milk accounts for more than 94% of the ingredient list, so the cheese contains the milk proteins that trigger dairy allergies and the lactose found in milk; anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid it.
