Why is Emmental râpé Bio classified as a processed cheese (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The cheese is made from pasteurised cow’s milk, salt, starter cultures and a coagulant enzyme, which are standard cheese‑making ingredients; no food additives are listed, so the NOVA 3 rating reflects its processing steps rather than added additives.

How does the saturated fat and salt content in this cheese affect a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet?

With 20 g of saturated fat and 0.7 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese can raise LDL cholesterol and contribute to sodium intake, so it should be enjoyed in moderation by people following heart‑healthy or low‑salt dietary guidelines.

Is the cow’s milk in this cheese a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

The product contains about 4.9 g of lactose per 100 g, so lactose‑intolerant individuals may experience symptoms and should limit consumption or choose a lactose‑free alternative.
