What You Should Know

You'll spot this in the refrigerated dairy or deli section as a grab-and-go snack or a small ball/pack for picnics, caprese salads, or easy weeknight meals. It gives a fresh, wholesome vibe—soft, milky and slightly elastic—and the very short ingredient list (pasteurized milk, vinegar, enzymes, salt) and traditional coagulation/fermentation point to minimal industrial processing rather than an ultra-processed formulation (NOVA 3).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from pasteurized milk with vinegar, enzymes and salt and no long list of additives or emulsifiers; cheese-making is a traditional processing step, so it's processed (NOVA 3) rather than ultra-processed.
