Why is Remarkably Crumbly Cheddar Extra Mature classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The cheese is made from pasteurised milk, salt, starter cultures and a microbial rennet, which places it in the NOVA 3 group for processed foods, and it lists no additives on the label.

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

With 22 g of saturated fat and 1.8 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese can raise LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, so it should be eaten in moderation within a heart‑healthy eating plan.

Is the milk in this cheese a problem for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Milk is the primary ingredient and the product contains about 4.8 g of lactose per 100 g, making it unsuitable for lactose‑intolerant individuals, and it is a known allergen for anyone allergic to dairy.
