Why is Fromage à effilocher classified in NOVA group 3 and which additives does it contain?

The cheese is a processed product that includes added salt, acidity regulators and a coagulant, which places it in NOVA group 3; its only listed additives are the acidity regulators citric acid (E330) and lactic acid (E270).

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.9 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese provides about 30 % of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake, which can raise blood pressure and is therefore unsuitable for people managing hypertension.

Based on its ingredients, is this shredded cheese suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains cow's milk, so it is not vegan; its low carbohydrate (2.5 g total, 1 g sugars) makes it keto‑friendly, it contains no gluten ingredients, and halal suitability depends on the source of the rennet and ferment, which are not specified.
