Why is Pizza Raclette Bacon classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The pizza is tagged NOVA 4 because it combines processed meats (bacon and smoked lardons), multiple cheese varieties and a refined dough, all of which undergo industrial processing. It includes two food additives: E250 (sodium nitrite) used as a preservative for the cured meats, and E316 (sodium erythorbate) which acts as an antioxidant.

How does the salt content in this pizza affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.28 g of salt per 100 g, the pizza contributes roughly 13 % of the recommended maximum daily salt intake of 5 g. For people with high blood pressure, this moderate amount should be considered within the total daily salt budget to avoid exceeding recommended limits.

Is the mozzarella in this pizza a problem for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the mozzarella cheese contains milk proteins and lactose, and the product is labeled with a milk allergen warning. Individuals who are allergic to dairy or who are lactose intolerant should avoid this pizza.
