Why is Bio‑Cottage Cheese classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the cheese undergoes several industrial steps such as milk pasteurisation, the addition of cream, milk proteins, cultured bacteria and microbial rennet, which place it in the ultra‑processed group even though no food additives are listed on the label.

How does the sugar and salt content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The 3.5 g of sugar per 100 g can raise blood‑glucose levels and should be counted toward daily carbohydrate limits for diabetics, while the 0.8 g of salt (moderate level) may contribute to sodium intake and should be monitored by people with hypertension.

Is the milk protein in this cottage cheese a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy?

Milk protein is a major allergen, so anyone with a milk allergy should avoid the product; people with lactose intolerance may still experience symptoms because the cheese contains skim milk, which retains lactose despite fermentation.
