Why is Fromage blanc au lait de Brebis classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cheese falls into NOVA 3 because it undergoes pasteurisation, cream addition and bacterial fermentation, which are moderate‑level industrial processes; however, the ingredient list shows only sheep’s milk, sheep’s cream, lactic cultures and vitamin D, and no declared additives.

How does the sugar and salt content of this cheese affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 3 g of sugars and 0.1 g of salt per 100 g, the product adds minimal glucose load and little sodium, making it generally acceptable in moderate portions for people managing diabetes or high blood pressure, though overall carbohydrate and calorie intake should still be considered.

Is the sheep’s milk in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the cheese is made primarily from skimmed sheep’s milk and cream, both of which contain milk proteins and lactose; therefore it must be avoided by anyone who is allergic to dairy or who cannot tolerate lactose.
