Why is Pizza Regina classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The pizza is labelled NOVA 4 because its ingredients undergo multiple industrial steps such as refined wheat flour, added oils, processed cheeses, cured pork ham, and a commercial tomato sauce; the only listed additive is E428, a phosphate used as a stabiliser, which together with the complex ingredient list places it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the salt content in Pizza Regina affect a hypertensive diet?

Pizza Regina contains 1.2 g of salt per 100 g, which is moderate and below the category average, but a typical serving of 190 g still provides around 2.3 g of salt, representing roughly 40 % of the recommended maximum daily intake for people with hypertension, so consumption should be limited.

Is Pizza Regina suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or halal diets?

No. The pizza includes dairy cheeses (mozzarella and emmental), wheat flour in the crust, and pork‑derived ingredients such as cured ham and gelatin, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and halal dietary requirements.
