Why is Dinkel Tortelloni Ricotta classified as NOVA 3 and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it contains processed ingredients such as spelt grits, cheese blends, breadcrumbs and soy lecithin, but it does not include industrial additives that would move it to NOVA 4; the only listed additive is soy lecithin used as an emulsifier.

How does the salt and saturated fat content in Dinkel Tortelloni Ricotta affect a hypertensive or heart‑healthy diet?

With 0.84 g of salt per 100 g the product contributes modestly to daily sodium limits, but the 2.8 g of saturated fat is relatively high for a heart‑healthy plan, so it should be consumed in moderation and balanced with lower‑salt, lower‑fat foods.

Is the ricotta cheese in Dinkel Tortelloni Ricotta a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes, the filling includes ricotta, mountain cheese and sheep's‑milk cheese, all derived from dairy; therefore the product is not safe for individuals who are allergic to milk.
