Why is Calin Fromage Blanc nature classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because its base ingredients are reconstituted milk powder and cream that undergo multiple industrial steps, and it includes additives such as potassium sorbate (E202) as a preservative, propionic acid (E296) and citric acid (E330) as acidity regulators, and modified corn starch as a texture stabiliser.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this fromage blanc affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 3.6 g of sugar and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese is low in both nutrients, making it suitable for moderate consumption in diabetic or hypertensive meal plans, though portion control remains important.

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

Yes, the cheese is made primarily from skimmed milk powder and cream, so it contains dairy proteins and lactose; it is not safe for individuals with milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
