Why is Bio Mozzarella classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cheese undergoes several processing steps such as pasteurisation, curd stretching, and the addition of salt and citric acid, which places it in the higher end of the NOVA scale; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330) used as a acidity regulator.

How does the saturated fat and salt content of this mozzarella affect a hypertensive or heart‑healthy diet?

With 12 g of saturated fat and 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese can raise LDL cholesterol and contribute to higher blood pressure, so it should be consumed sparingly by people managing hypertension or cardiovascular risk.

Is the milk in Bio Mozzarella a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product is made primarily of cow's milk and contains about 4.9 g of lactose per 100 g, making it unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
