Why is Mozzarella – format familial classified as a processed cheese product and what specific additives does it contain?

The product falls into the NOVA 3 category because it is made from pasteurised cow's milk that is salted, coagulated with an enzyme and adjusted with citric acid to achieve the desired texture; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

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

With 13 g of saturated fat and 0.6 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese contributes a notable amount of saturated fat but far less salt than many processed cheeses, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet that limits saturated fat intake.

Is the cow's milk in this mozzarella a concern for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Yes, the cheese is made primarily from cow's milk, which contains lactose and milk proteins; it is safe for lactose‑tolerant individuals but can trigger reactions in people with a milk allergy or severe lactose intolerance.
