Why does Râpé aux 3 fromages receive a Nutri‑Score of D despite its high protein content?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns negative points for high energy, saturated fat and salt, which outweigh the positive points earned from protein; the combination of 346 kcal, 18 g saturated fat and 1 g salt drives the overall grade to D.

Is this three‑cheese blend suitable for low‑carb or ketogenic diets?

It is very low in carbohydrates and sugars, fitting the macronutrient profile of keto diets, but its saturated fat is high, so it should be used cautiously by those monitoring cardiovascular health.

Does the presence of Maasdam cheese pose a risk for people with milk allergy?

Yes; Maasdam, along with Emmental and Mozzarella, are all made from cow's milk, so the product is unsafe for anyone allergic to milk proteins.
