Why is Queijo Mozzarella Ralado classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cheese is made from pasteurised cow's milk that is combined with salt, lactic ferment cultures, rennet and a small amount of anti‑caking potato starch, which is the only listed additive; these steps place it in NOVA group 3, indicating a processed but not ultra‑processed product.

How does the salt content in this mozzarella affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, the cheese provides about 22 % of the World Health Organization's recommended maximum daily sodium intake, so consuming large portions can contribute to elevated blood pressure and should be limited in hypertensive or low‑sodium diets.

Is the milk in this product a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the cheese contains cow's milk, which is listed as a known allergen and supplies lactose; therefore it is unsuitable for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
