Why is Ricottina classified in NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a cheese made by simple processing of milk whey and salt without industrial formulations, and the label reports zero additives, no preservatives and no palm oil.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Ricottina affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 4.5 g of sugar per 100 g, it contributes a moderate amount of carbohydrates that should be counted in a diabetic meal plan, while its low salt (0.24 g) is generally suitable for hypertension management, though overall daily intake should remain balanced.

Is the milk ingredient in Ricottina a problem for people with dairy allergies?

The sole ingredient is cow’s milk whey, which is declared as an allergen, so anyone with a milk allergy should avoid this product.
