Why is PIZZA FIORENTINA classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

PIZZA FIORENTINA actually falls into NOVA group 3, meaning it is a processed food rather than ultra‑processed; its formulation uses only natural ingredients and lists no synthetic additives (additives_n = 0).

How does the salt content in PIZZA FIORENTINA affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 1.08 g of salt per 100 g, the pizza contains roughly half the salt of an average pizza, making it a better option for hypertensive individuals, though total sodium intake should still be monitored; the low sugar level (1.6 g) also keeps it suitable for diabetic meal planning.

Is PIZZA FIORENTINA suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diet?

No; the crust is made from wheat flour (gluten) and the topping includes cream, hard cheese and mozzarella (dairy), so the product is neither vegan nor gluten‑free, and its carbohydrate‑rich base makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets.
