Why does this organic plain curd have a Nutri-Score of C despite its low sugar and salt levels?

The Nutri‑Score evaluates energy, saturated fat, sugars, sodium, protein and fiber; the curd’s relatively high saturated fat (4.9 g) and modest protein (5.3 g) lower its grade to C even though sugar and salt are low.

How does the saturated fat content in this curd impact a heart-healthy or low-cholesterol diet?

With 4.9 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the curd contributes significantly to daily saturated fat intake, which can raise cholesterol levels and may not be suitable for strict heart‑healthy or low‑cholesterol eating plans.

Is the sheep’s milk used in this product safe for individuals with dairy allergies, and how does it differ from cow’s milk?

Sheep’s milk contains the same allergenic proteins as cow’s milk, so people allergic to dairy are likely to react to this curd as well; the main difference is a slightly higher whey‑to‑casein ratio, which does not eliminate the allergy risk.
