Why is Mozzarella Pizza Extra Thin Crispy classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and which ingredients drive this rating?

NOVA 3 indicates a product that has undergone industrial processing but does not contain added flavor enhancers or preservatives typical of ultra‑processed foods; the pizza’s combination of refined wheat flour, reconstituted tomato puree, added oils, cheese, and a blend of herbs and spices requires multiple processing steps that place it in this category.

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

At 0.51 g of salt per 100 g, the pizza provides about 20 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum daily salt intake, so occasional consumption can fit into a controlled‑salt diet, but regular servings could contribute to elevated blood pressure and should be balanced with lower‑salt meals.

Is Mozzarella Pizza Extra Thin Crispy suitable for gluten‑free or vegan diets?

No. The crust is made from wheat flour, which contains gluten, and the cheese and milk ingredients supply dairy, so the product does not meet the requirements of gluten‑free or vegan dietary patterns.
