Why is Saint Agur Crème classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is produced by blending cheese, milk, water and milk proteins with industrial emulsifiers and acidifiers, a manufacturing method that qualifies as ultra‑processed; the label lists the additives E450 (diphosphates), E452 (polyphosphates) and E270 (lactic acid).

How does the saturated fat and salt content in this cheese spread affect people with heart disease or high blood pressure?

The 18 g of saturated fat per 100 g can raise LDL cholesterol, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, while the 1.5 g of salt contributes to sodium intake; together they may be problematic for heart‑healthy or hypertensive diets and should be consumed in moderation.

Is the milk ingredient in Saint Agur Crème a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Yes, the product contains whole cheese and added milk proteins, both of which are listed as milk allergens, so anyone with a cow‑milk allergy should avoid it.
