Why is this lasagne classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The lasagne is placed in NOVA group 3 because its ingredients have been transformed – for example, pre‑cooked pasta, cheese and added salt – but the label lists zero additives, so all components are basic food items rather than synthetic additives.

Is the goat cheese in this product a concern for people with milk allergies?

Yes, the goat cheese contains dairy milk proteins and the product is labeled with a milk allergen, so anyone allergic to milk should avoid it.

Can this frozen lasagne be included in a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

No, the recipe uses wheat semolina, wheat flour and several dairy products such as goat cheese, emmental, skimmed milk powder and cream, making it unsuitable for both gluten‑free and vegan diets.
