Mozzarella String Cheese, 12 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these in the refrigerated cheese aisle or the grab-and-go cooler—perfect for school lunches, quick snacks, or a protein hit after a workout. The vibe is nostalgic and convenient: a familiar, playful snack that feels wholesome and practical. Its stretchy, low‑moisture texture comes from standard cheesemaking steps (pasteurization, culturing and microbial enzymes) rather than industrial additives, so it's a processed cheese product but not an ultraprocessed formulation.
