Why does EDAM sliced cheese receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score D results from high negative points for saturated fat (17 g per 100 g) and salt (2 g per 100 g), while positive points are limited because it contains no sugars, no fiber and a low fruits‑vegetables‑legumes content, leading to an overall score of 15.

How does the salt content of 2 g per 100 g in this sliced Edam cheese impact a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 2 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese provides about 800 mg of sodium, roughly one‑third of the WHO’s recommended daily limit of 5 g of salt, so regular consumption can raise blood pressure and should be limited by people with hypertension or those following a low‑sodium diet.

Is the milk ingredient in this product a concern for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

The cheese lists cow’s milk as an ingredient, which is a major allergen and can cause reactions in people allergic to dairy proteins. The fermentation process reduces lactose, so many lactose‑intolerant individuals tolerate it, but it remains unsafe for anyone with a true milk allergy.
