Mozzarella String Cheese, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot this in the dairy aisle or the snack fridge—an individually wrapped string cheese that’s common in lunchboxes, after-school snacks, and grab-and-go moments. It feels nostalgic and practical, a wholesome, protein-forward bite that recalls childhood lunches but also fits a busy adult’s routine. The short ingredient list and the low-moisture, part-skim process (pasteurization, culturing, stretching) explain its firm, stringy texture and point to a processed cheese rather than an ultra-processed formulation.
