Why is Mini Mozzarella di Bufala Campana classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and does it contain any additives?

The cheese undergoes multiple steps such as pasteurisation, curd stretching, brining and packaging, which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, but the ingredient list shows no added additives or preservatives.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this mozzarella affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With only 0.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the product has a minimal impact on blood glucose, making it suitable for diabetics, while the 0.61 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and should be limited by those managing high blood pressure.

Is the buffalo milk used in this cheese a concern for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the cheese contains pasteurised buffalo milk, whey and milk‑derived rennet, all of which are dairy allergens and can trigger reactions in individuals allergic to cow or buffalo milk.
