Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, White Cheese, White scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Less Than 2%: Natural Flavor, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
