Why does Emmental râpé receive a Nutri‑Score of D despite being only moderately processed?

The Nutri‑Score considers the balance of nutrients; Emmental râpé scores low because it is high in saturated fat (19 g) and total fat (29 g) while providing modest amounts of protein, leading to a higher negative point total that places it in the D category.

How might the high saturated‑fat content of this grated Emmental affect a heart‑healthy diet?

Saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol levels, so the 19 g of saturated fat per 100 g in this cheese may exceed recommended limits for heart‑healthy eating, and it should be consumed in moderation or balanced with lower‑fat foods.

Is the milk in Emmental râpé a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product is made from pasteurised cow's milk, which contains lactose (approximately 4.9 g per 100 g) and is listed as a milk allergen, making it unsuitable for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
