Question 1

Why does Our Mature Cheddar have a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

Accepted Answer

The Nutri‑Score algorithm penalises high levels of energy, saturated fat and salt; Our Mature Cheddar scores 5 points for energy (1725 kJ), 10 points for saturated fat (21.7 g) and 8 points for salt (1.8 g). These three negative components outweigh the positive points from protein (25.4 g), resulting in an overall score of 16 and a grade of D.

Question 2

How might the saturated‑fat and salt content of this mature cheddar affect people with cardiovascular concerns?

Accepted Answer

With 21.7 g of saturated fat per 100 g, the cheese contributes significantly to daily saturated‑fat limits, which can raise LDL cholesterol. Although its salt (1.8 g) is lower than the category average, it still represents about 30 % of the recommended maximum sodium intake, so regular high‑quantity consumption may increase blood‑pressure risk.

Question 3

Is Our Mature Cheddar suitable for low‑carb or keto diets, and does it contain any allergens or ingredients that prevent it from being vegan or gluten‑free?

Accepted Answer

The cheese contains virtually no carbohydrates (0.1 g sugars, 0 g fibre) and is therefore compatible with low‑carb and keto regimens. It lists only cheddar cheese, so it is naturally gluten‑free but it does contain milk, making it unsuitable for vegans and a potential allergen for those with dairy sensitivity.
