Why does Queijo de Pastagem Original receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The D rating stems mainly from its high saturated‑fat (17.5 g) and moderate salt (1.4 g) per 100 g, which generate many negative points, while its low sugar and modest fiber contribute few positive points, resulting in a net score that places it in the D range.

What impact does the product’s saturated‑fat and salt levels have on people with high cholesterol or hypertension?

High saturated‑fat can raise LDL cholesterol, and the 1.4 g of salt adds to daily sodium intake, so individuals managing cholesterol or blood‑pressure should limit portion sizes or choose lower‑fat, lower‑salt alternatives.

Is the cow’s milk in this cheese a problem for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

The cheese is made from pasteurised cow’s milk and contains trace lactose (<0.007 g per 100 g); it is safe for those without a milk allergy but may still trigger symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals, and it is not suitable for anyone with a milk allergy.
