Why is Queso de cabra classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cheese is made from pasteurised goat milk that is mixed with salt, a firming agent (calcium chloride, listed as additive E509), microbial rennet and lactic ferments; these added processing aids place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

Is the goat milk in this cheese a concern for people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance?

Yes; the product’s primary ingredient is goat milk, which contains both casein and whey proteins that can trigger dairy allergies, and it also supplies about 4.8 g of lactose per 100 g, making it unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance.

Is this cheese suitable for a keto or low‑carb diet?

The cheese is low in carbohydrates (3.3 g per 100 g) and high in fat, so it fits well within keto and other low‑carb eating plans, but its high saturated‑fat content may be a consideration for individuals monitoring saturated fat intake.
