Why does Pizza Margherita receive a Nutri‑Score of D, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The Nutri‑Score of D is driven mainly by its relatively high levels of saturated fat (4.15 g) and salt (1.3 g) per 100 g, which generate negative points that outweigh the positive contributions from protein and fiber.

How does the salt content of this pizza affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, the pizza contributes a moderate amount of sodium; regular consumption could increase daily salt intake and may raise blood pressure for people managing hypertension, so it should be eaten in moderation.

Is the lactose‑free mozzarella used in this pizza safe for people with lactose intolerance?

The mozzarella is labeled lactose‑free, meaning most lactose has been removed, but it still contains milk proteins; it is generally safe for lactose‑intolerant individuals but may trigger a reaction in people allergic to milk.
