Why is Mozzarella LIGHT classified as NOVA 3 and what additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 3 because it is a cheese made from milk that undergoes processing steps such as pasteurisation, curd stretching and the addition of salt and acidity regulators; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330) used as an acidity regulator, along with microbial rennet and a brine of water and salt.

How does the sugar and salt content in Mozzarella LIGHT affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The product provides only 1 g of sugar per 100 g, which is low and generally safe for diabetes, but it contains 0.49 g of salt per 100 g, contributing to sodium intake and should be limited for hypertension; portion control is recommended.

Is Mozzarella LIGHT suitable for vegan, keto, halal or gluten‑free diets?

It is not vegan because it contains cow’s milk, but it is naturally gluten‑free; its low carbohydrate (1 g) and moderate fat make it compatible with keto, and the use of microbial rennet instead of animal rennet usually meets halal standards, though certification should be checked.
