Why is Mozzarella classified as a NOVA 3 product and what additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 denotes a processed culinary ingredient; the cheese is made from cow's milk and includes added salt, a microbial coagulant (rennet) and citric acid as an acidulant, with no artificial preservatives.

How does the saturated fat and salt content of this mozzarella affect people with high cholesterol or hypertension?

The saturated fat (12 g per 100 g) can raise LDL cholesterol levels, while the moderate salt amount (0.5 g per 100 g) may contribute to increased blood pressure; individuals with these conditions should consume it sparingly.

Is the milk in this mozzarella a concern for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains cow's milk and about 4.9 g of lactose per 100 g, so it should be avoided by those with a milk allergy and may cause symptoms in people who are lactose intolerant, although fermentation slightly reduces lactose compared with fresh milk.
