Why does Light cheese slices receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients drive this rating?

The Nutri‑Score assigns negative points for high saturated fat (11 g) and salt (1.77 g) while giving few positive points because the product contains no fiber, no fruit/vegetable content and only modest protein benefits, leading to an overall D grade.

How does the salt and saturated‑fat content of this cheese affect people who need to manage blood pressure?

Both salt and saturated fat can raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels; consuming this cheese in large amounts may counteract a heart‑healthy diet, so people with hypertension should limit their intake.

Is the cow’s milk used in Light cheese slices a problem for individuals with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product is made primarily from cow’s milk and contains about 4.8 g of lactose per 100 g, so it is unsuitable for anyone allergic to dairy proteins or who is lactose intolerant.
