Question 1

Why does British Mature Cheese receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

Accepted Answer

The D rating is driven primarily by its high saturated fat (10.3 g), high salt (1.9 g) and moderate energy (265 kcal) which generate many negative points, while the positive points from protein (30.1 g) and fiber (0.5 g) are insufficient to offset them.

Question 2

How might the salt content of this cheese affect a hypertensive or sodium‑restricted diet?

Accepted Answer

At 1.9 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese contributes a notable portion of the recommended daily limit (≈5 g), so regular consumption could raise blood pressure and should be limited for individuals managing hypertension.

Question 3

Is the milk protein in British Mature Cheese a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the cheese is made from cow’s milk, so it contains the milk proteins casein and whey that can trigger allergic reactions, and although maturation reduces lactose, it may still affect those with severe lactose intolerance.
