Why does Queso blanco pasteurizado receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients drive this rating?

The rating is mainly due to its high saturated fat (9.6 g) and salt (0.92 g) levels, combined with a moderate energy content of 182 kcal per 100 g, which lower the overall score despite low sugar.

How does the saturated fat and salt content in this cheese affect people with heart disease or hypertension?

Elevated saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol, while higher salt may increase blood pressure, so individuals with cardiovascular concerns should limit consumption and balance it with lower‑fat, lower‑salt foods.

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

Yes, the cheese is made from pasteurized cow’s milk and contains milk proteins, making it unsuitable for those with milk allergies, and it also contains lactose, which can cause symptoms in lactose‑intolerant individuals.
