Why is Pizza 4 fromages classified as a moderately processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The pizza is placed in NOVA group 3 because its ingredients are industrially prepared but it does not contain any listed additives; the formulation consists only of dough, tomato sauce, four cheeses, semolina and natural seasonings.

How does the sugar and salt content in this pizza affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.7 g of sugar and 1.2 g of salt per 100 g, the product is low in sugar and moderate in salt, making it less problematic for blood‑glucose control but still requiring caution for people managing high blood pressure.

Is the milk used in the cheeses of this pizza a concern for people with lactose intolerance?

Yes, the mozzarella, emmental and Fourme d'Ambert cheeses contain cow's milk, and the mozzarella includes lactase‑derived ferment ingredients that may contain residual lactose, so the product is not suitable for lactose‑intolerant consumers.
