Why is Fresh cheese classified as a moderately processed product (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates the cheese undergoes processing steps such as pasteurisation, fermentation and the addition of small amounts of non‑nutritional ingredients. The label lists potassium sorbate as a preservative, along with rennet and live lactic cultures used for coagulation and flavor development.

How does the sugar and salt content of this fresh cheese affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 3.2 g of sugar and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese is low in both nutrients, making it a suitable occasional option for people managing blood‑glucose or blood‑pressure levels, provided it fits within their overall daily carbohydrate and sodium limits.

Is the milk in Fresh cheese a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

The cheese is made primarily from pasteurised skimmed and whole milk, so it contains lactose and milk proteins that can trigger reactions in individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy; those sensitivities should avoid the product or choose a certified lactose‑free alternative.
