Why is Pizza Vesuvio cuite au feu de bois classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It contains several food‑industry additives such as sodium nitrite (E250), sodium ascorbate (E301), citric acid (E330), rosemary extract (E392), paprika extract (E160c) and a generic E14xx antioxidant, which together with its refined wheat flour crust and processed meat classify it as ultra‑processed.

How does the salt content in this pizza affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.1 g of salt per 100 g (≈440 mg sodium), the pizza provides about 22 % of the recommended maximum daily salt intake, which can contribute to elevated blood pressure and should be limited in a hypertension‑friendly diet.

Is the Edam cheese in this pizza a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes; Edam cheese contains dairy proteins, and the product lists milk as an allergen, so individuals with a milk allergy should avoid this pizza.
