Why is Frischkäse Becher Meerrettich classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and which additives does it contain?

The cheese is made from pasteurised cow's milk, microbial rennet and cultured starter bacteria, all of which involve industrial processing, placing it in NOVA group 3. The only listed additive is lactic acid (E270), used as an acidifier.

How does the sugar and salt content of this cheese affect people managing diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 3.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the cheese adds modest extra carbs that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should count it toward their daily sugar allowance. The 1.1 g of salt per 100 g is lower than many cheeses, but still contributes to sodium intake and should be limited by those with hypertension.

Is the horseradish or dairy in this product a concern for individuals with mustard or milk allergies?

The cheese contains cow's milk, which is a major allergen and can trigger reactions in milk‑sensitive individuals. Horseradish belongs to the same plant family as mustard, so people with mustard allergies may experience cross‑reactivity and should avoid this product.
