How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The low sugar amount (2.9 g per 100 g) makes it suitable for people managing diabetes, while the relatively high salt (0.8 g per 100 g) could contribute to higher blood pressure and should be limited for those with hypertension.

Is the skimmed milk in this cheese a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes, the cheese lists skimmed milk as its main ingredient, so it is not safe for anyone allergic to milk or dairy proteins.

Is this cheese suitable for gluten‑free, low‑fat, or vegan diets?

It is gluten‑free and very low in fat, fitting those dietary preferences, but it contains dairy and therefore is not compatible with a vegan diet.
