Common Questions about Non Dairy Cheddar Cheese Slices, 8 OZ
Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy.' These slices are low in sugar and cholesterol-free, which is great if you're looking to cut back on those factors. However, they're not particularly high in protein or fiber, so they might not be the best option if you're aiming for a super nutrient-dense snack.
