Why is stonebaked pizza – Margherita classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The pizza is made from refined wheat flour, added rapeseed oil, cheese, sugars, and a blend of processed tomato concentrates, which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods; the product lists no separate food‑grade additives, but its formulation includes industrial ingredients such as modified potato starch and various flavorings that place it in NOVA 4.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this pizza affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Each 100 g serving contains 3.7 g of sugars (about 11 g per 300 g portion) and 0.9 g of salt (≈2.7 g per portion); the sugar can raise blood glucose modestly, so diabetics should count it toward their daily allowance, while the salt contributes to sodium intake and may require monitoring for those managing high blood pressure.

Is stonebaked pizza – Margherita suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

No. The crust contains wheat flour, making it unsuitable for gluten‑free diets, and the topping includes mozzarella and Edam cheese, which contain milk, so it is not vegan; additionally, the carbohydrate content from the crust and sauce exceeds keto limits.
