Why is Jambon - fromages classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined wheat flour, multiple processed cheeses, cured ham and several food‑industry ingredients, which places it in the ultra‑processed category. The label lists additives E250 (sodium nitrite), E301 (sodium ascorbate), E407 (carrageenan) and E500 (sodium carbonate) for preservation, antioxidant protection and leavening.

How does the salt content in this pizza affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1.7 g of salt per 100 g, a single 180 g portion provides about 3 g of salt, roughly 60 % of the WHO daily limit of 5 g. Regular consumption can therefore raise blood pressure and should be limited for people with hypertension.

Is the milk present in the gouda, emmental and mozzarella a concern for lactose‑intolerant individuals?

Yes. All three cheeses contain lactose and are identified as milk allergens, so the product is unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy.
