Why is the shredded plant‑based mozzarella cheese classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from water, starches, coconut oil, bean protein and a blend of additives; the label lists E160 (carotenoid colour), E200 (sorbic acid preservative), E330 (citric acid acidity regulator) and natural flavourings, which together place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the high saturated‑fat and salt content of this product affect people with heart disease or high blood pressure?

The 16 g of saturated fat and 1.7 g of salt per 100 g can raise LDL cholesterol and increase blood pressure, so individuals with cardiovascular concerns should limit consumption.

Is this shredded cheese suitable for strict vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

It is fully vegan and contains no wheat‑derived ingredients, making it gluten‑free, but its 19 g of carbs per 100 g exceeds typical keto limits, so it is not keto‑friendly.
