Why does this product have a Nutri‑Score of C despite its low sugar and salt levels?

Nutri‑Score balances negative points from energy, saturated fat and other factors against positive points from protein and fiber; the quark’s high saturated fat (6.7 g) and moderate energy (591 kJ) generate sufficient negative points to offset its low sugar (3.5 g) and salt (0.1 g), resulting in a C rating.

How does the saturated fat content in this quark affect a heart‑healthy diet?

At 6.7 g per 100 g, the saturated fat is well above the average for dairy desserts and can raise LDL cholesterol, so individuals pursuing cardiovascular health should limit portion size or choose lower‑fat dairy options.

Can this high‑fat quark be included in a ketogenic or low‑carb eating plan?

With only 3.5 g of carbs and 9.8 g of fat per 100 g, the quark fits the macronutrient profile of a keto diet, though its high saturated fat should be balanced with other sources of healthier fats to stay within recommended fat quality guidelines.
