Why is Ziegenfrischkäse - Natur classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what ingredients contribute to this classification?

The cheese is made from pasteurised goat milk and cream, and it undergoes fermentation with lactic bacteria and coagulation with a microbial enzyme; these processing steps place it in NOVA group 3, even though no artificial additives are listed.

How does the sugar and salt content of this cheese affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

The cheese contains only 1.4 g of sugar per 100 g, making it suitable for diabetic meal plans, but the 1.2 g of salt per 100 g can contribute to high sodium intake, so people with hypertension should consume it in moderation.

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

Yes, the product contains pasteurised goat milk, which is a dairy protein and can trigger the same allergic reactions as cow milk; anyone with a milk allergy should avoid this cheese.
