Why is Fromage Frais Malo 40% classified as NOVA group 3 and which additives does it contain?

The cheese is a fermented dairy product that undergoes processing steps such as pasteurisation and the addition of a preservative; it contains sodium sorbate (E201) as the only listed additive.

How does the relatively high saturated‑fat content in this cheese affect a heart‑healthy or ketogenic diet?

At 5.4 g saturated fat per 100 g, the cheese may raise LDL cholesterol for those following a heart‑healthy diet, while its high‑fat profile can fit the macronutrient ratios of a ketogenic diet if consumed in moderation.

Is this fresh cheese suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or halal diets?

The product is made from whole and skimmed milk and uses animal‑derived rennet, so it is not vegan or halal, but it contains no gluten ingredients and is therefore gluten‑free.
