Mozzarella String Cheese, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated cheese section or pulled from the family fridge—an easy grab for lunchboxes, picnics, or a quick protein snack after a workout. Its pull-apart, stringy texture and simple ingredient list (cultured pasteurized milk, salt, microbial enzymes) give a nostalgic, wholesome convenience vibe; the low-moisture, part-skim processing explains the stretch and shape. The short ingredient list and traditional cheesemaking steps point to a processed dairy product rather than an ultraprocessed formulation (NOVA hints toward Group 3).
