Why is Salsa fresca trufa classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the formulation relies heavily on refined ingredients such as modified starches, added cheese, and a truffle preparation, and it includes the preservatives potassium sorbate (E202) and the acidity regulator citric acid (E330).

How does the sugar and salt content in this sauce affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 3 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is relatively low in sugar and therefore does not significantly raise blood glucose, but the 1.5 g of salt per 100 g can contribute to sodium intake and should be limited for people managing hypertension.

Is the milk present in this sauce a concern for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergy?

Yes; the sauce contains dairy components such as light cream, melted cheese, whey, milk proteins and whey powder, all of which can trigger reactions in individuals with a milk allergy or cause symptoms in those who are lactose intolerant.
