Question 1

Why is Emmental French 10 slices classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Accepted Answer

It is classified as ultra-processed because the cheese is made from pasteurised milk, undergoes cooking, pressing and the addition of salt, starter cultures and rennet, which are processing steps that place it in the highest NOVA category. The ingredient list shows only these natural components and no artificial additives - the product contains only cow's milk, salt, lactic cultures and rennet.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

The cheese provides only 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g, which is negligible for blood-glucose control and generally safe for diabetics. However, it contains 0.64 g of salt per 100 g, which is modest but should be counted toward daily sodium limits, especially for people managing hypertension.

Question 3

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Accepted Answer

Because the cheese is made from whole cow's milk, it contains lactose and milk proteins; people with a dairy allergy should avoid it, while those with lactose intolerance may tolerate it better than fresh milk due to the fermentation process, though sensitivity varies.
